Surveys the major fashion trends that affected men's and women's clothing styles from the mid-18th to the mid-20th centuries. Featuring highlights from the Saco Museum's own collection, along with significant clothing items from a number of other museums and historical societies in Maine and New Hampshire, this book considers the impact of the mechanization of the textile industry beginning in the late 18th century, the inventions and innovations of the 19th century, and the availability of ready-to-wear clothing by the early 20th century on the evolution of fashionable clothing worn by the inhabitants of northern New England.Context
