Review: It arrived remarkably quickly, covered a wide range of relevant topics in a lighthearted and entertaining manner. An ideal gift for my daughter.

Review: This book makes no attempt at serious history of clothing, or of showing readers how to alter or mend clothes. It covers both topics in a rather superficial way. From the language I get the impression it is aimed at a teen/youth audience, and I personally found it very irritating. It's evidently written for girls; each history chapter has a short section on "What the men were wearing" tacked on at the end. It seems to be written for women of an age at which the seventies or even the eighties seems distant history. Although it has interesting content, the style is very irritating, to the extent that I'm just wondering how to get rid of it. Not recommended.
