  • More about Dress Detective: A Practical Guide to Object-Based Research in Fashion

The Dress Detective is a practical guide to analyzing fashion objects, providing readers with tools to uncover hidden stories and corroborate theories of dress or fashion. It includes seven case studies of fashionable Western garments and a skillset that has been passed on informally.

Length: 224 pages
Publication date: 01 August 2018
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing PLC

The Dress Detective is a groundbreaking practical guide to analyzing fashion objects, offering a clear and comprehensive methodology for uncovering the hidden stories in garments. With its beautifully illustrated case studies of fashionable Western garments, ranging from an 1820s coat to a 2004 Kenzo jacket, the book provides readers with the tools to enhance and enrich interdisciplinary research. The author's carefully developed research methodology is specific to dress, and the easy-to-use checklists guide the reader through the process. The book's seven case studies articulate the methodological framework, illustrate the use of the checklists, and demonstrate how evidence from the garment itself can be used to corroborate theories of dress or fashion. This accessible book will give any budding fashion historian, curator, or researcher the knowledge and confidence to analyze the material in front of them effectively.
