To help tell the story of accessories - from hats, veils, and pins to gloves, garters, and walking sticks - the writers have incorporated drawings of illustrations taken from rare books and magazines, photographs of original paintings and sculptures, and authentic observations by commentators on fashions of their times. Describing wigs, cosmetics, cravats, shawls, shoes, handbags, fans, parasols, ribbons, buttons, and scores of other fashion accessories, the engaging commentary displays the humor and personal charm of the many-sided story of accessorized apparel.
