by Jennifer Scarce
- 1 Want to read
"The historical and cultural richness of the Near and Middle East is reflected visually in its costume. In this book, Jennifer Scarce makes use of years of research to provide a lucid account of the development of women's dress from the 14th to the early 20th centuries. Her study of costume is set in the broader context of the social and economic background of the Ottoman Empire, giving the subject a new and fascinating slant." "A detailed discussion of cut and construction is accompanied by pattern layouts and numerous photographs which clearly illustrate the different styles of dress through the centuries."--Jacket.

Book Details
First Sentence
"The arrival of the Osmanli or Ottoman Turks, as they are more familiarly known, who were to exert an almost limitless impact on Europe and Asia for so many centuries was relatively discreet and modest, as in the simplest terms they were basically just one among the numerous small Turkish principalities which took root in Antolia from the eleventh century onwards."
