Anita-- "Dressed for the Photographer: Ordinary Americans & Fashion,
1840-1900" by Joan Severa is a fascinating study of the dress of the period
for men, women, children, and servants. The best part is not only the
wonderful pictures but the description of how the clothing would have been
made and how that helps to date the period when the photo was taken. See if
you can get it on an interlibrary loan if your own local library does not
have it. Best regards, Lynda de Nijs

> I am writing an article that covers the Eighteenth & Nineteenth century,
and need assistance. Where can I find information on varying styles of
clothing? What would have been the atire of slaves, Indentured Servants, the
Middling Classes, and the Upper classes. I believe there was a recent thread
about this, and I did not join in. I would appreciate assistance, or
direction to another site.
