Book Description
Is there more to modesty than the clothes we wear? Modesty. It’s a word that can tend to make women cringe. This is because for many years, people have concluded that modesty is a list of rules women have to keep about the clothes they wear. This version of modesty leaves women afraid that they will have to dress "frumpy and dumpy" to do it right. If you are tired of hearing this cringe-worthy version of modesty, you need to know that there is more to how we should dress than hemlines and dress codes. That's why it's time to throw out these false perceptions and redefine biblical modesty for a whole new generation. That's why through Beyond Your Wardrobe, you will: - Identify prominent lies that many women and teen girls believe about physical beauty and modesty - Learn different facets of what the words "modest" and "modesty" actually mean, and how they apply as much to the attitude of your heart as it does to your clothes - Take a deep dive into what the Scripture does and doesn't say about what we should wear - Discover how to find the best source for your worth and how to possess a beauty that will never fade away - Receive tips and answers to your questions about how to apply these principles to what's currently in your closet With an appendix for men, links to articles and videos, and a Bible study guide, this isn’t like any modesty book you’ve read before. Instead, it’s an invitation to discover the power and freedom that biblical modesty has to offer anyone willing to embrace it.

Book Description
Riffling through the wardrobes of years gone by, costume historian Lucy Adlington reveals the rich stories underlying the clothes we wear in this stylish tour of the most important developments in the history of fashion, from ancient times to the present day. Starting with underwear – did you know Elizabeth I owned just one pair of drawers, worn only after her death? – she moves garment by garment through Western attire, exploring both the items we still wear every day and those that have gone the way of the dodo (sugared petticoats, farthingales and spatterdashers to name but a few). Beautifully illustrated throughout, and crammed with fascinating and eminently quotable facts, Stitches in Time shows how the way we dress is inextricably bound up with considerations of aesthetics, sex, gender, class and lifestyle – and offers us the chance to truly appreciate the extraordinary qualities of these, our most ordinary possessions.

Book Description
Why do we dress the way we do? Why has fashion changed and evolved over the centuries? How did the 3-piece suit come about? What is a ruff? Why have hemlines risen and fallen over time? Why did a suntan replace the pale, peaches-and-cream face as the sign of a high-class woman? In this book, fashion specialist Colin McDowell goes beyond standard fashion histories and narrative surveys to answer all these questions and more. Fashion is both functional and expressive we wear clothes to keep warm or for protection but they also articulate the way we feel and are often used to impress. Fashion trends are influenced by history and their social context. For example, the waistcoat is often believed to have been introduced as part of the Victorian 3-piece suit. In fact, it was brought to England by Charles II in 1666 after his restoration and return from exile at the French court. Samuel Pepys, diarist and civil servant, wrote: 'The King hath yesterday in council declared his resolution of setting a fashion for clothes which he will never alter. It will be a vest, I know not well how.' Charles wanted the new garment to be part of a restrained national dress for gentlemen and the vest flourished throughout Georgian times as a show-off garment made of rich silks and heavily embroidered, often in silver and gold.

Book Description
Why do you wear clothes? Consider this: no other animal wears clothes and no one is born wearing clothes. So why and when did we start to wear clothes? Clothing was an early invention on our way to becoming human. And what a stroke of ingenuity. Wearing clothes empowered us to conquer the world. What do clothes do for us? Certainly they protect us from bad weather and hazardous conditions. They keep us comfortable and safe. In their most basic usages, clothes are movable sanctuaries for the body. But there is so much more. Clothes are your daily form of self-expression. They tell people who you are. Clothes boost your ego and boast your body, making you feel vital and attractive. Sexy clothes announce your personal desires. You are what you wear and clothing is a potent form of communication. And what do you know about your clothes? Where did denim come from? Zippers? Gore-Tex? Stilettos? Bikinis? Did you know that the demand for clothes led to the Civil War, the Industrial Revolution, the Audubon Society, and tragedy in Bangladesh? As Mark Twain said, "Naked people have little or no influence on society." Covering our body has enabled us to become who we are as modern humans. It's all about the clothes we wear...
