  One of a series which examines the changes that have affected society during the 20th century. The text is combined with first-hand documentary information and contemporary photographs to give children insights into what life was like for their parents, grandparents and great-grandparents. This book offers a brief look at the changing styles of clothing, from Edwardian frills to punk studs and leather, reflecting changing lifestyles. It explains how garments were modified to allow women to work, how shortages of fabric during the world wars led to different styles and the effect of developments in technology.
