Quigley, Dorothy: 'What Dress Makes of Us (1897), v.1, 24 June 2007
An oddity I found while PG-surfing. Added Toc. Loads of pictures.
Fashion advice from 1897, for women and a chapter for men, especially on what not to wear. Makes one glad to live in 2007.

Interesting! You might want to look at Sartor Resartus, by Thomas Carlyle
