DOWNLOAD EBOOKCostume production distinguishes early civilization from the Paleolithic era as much as architectural production.

Changes in the appearance and types of garments through the ages are a significant indicator of social, economic and chronological changes.

This subject is of increasing interest to scholars in many fields, including archaeology and anthropology, art and art history, classics, drama, history, ancient literature, even modern literature. The references in this bibliography range from the encyclopedia entry to the monograph, and show a variety of themes: women's dress, men's dress, foreign dress, accessories, jewelry, headdresses, theater dress, textile production and literary evidence.
