Description

This comprehensive guide to women's hats, headdresses, and hairstyles spans over 1,300 years of changing fashions in England. With over 400 of the author's own drawings, it provides an authentic record of the evolution of women's hairstyles and headwear from Anglo-Saxon times to the mid-twentieth century.

Finely detailed images depict a range of styles, from turbans and horned headdresses to elaborate hats and hairstyles of the Georgian period, and the emancipated look of the early twentieth century. Each historical period is accompanied by a detailed introduction, providing context and information on the materials used and methods of manufacture.

For those seeking accurate historical details, this profusely illustrated guide will be an invaluable reference. It is also a valuable resource for designers and students of history, making it a useful addition to any collection.
