Description: Valery Garrett. Chinese Dress from the Qing Dynasty to the Present . Tuttle 2007 Hardcover in DJ. Good/Good Quarto 224 pp. "Valery Garrett covers more than most works on Chinese dress, which focus mainly on the Manchu-influenced clothing styles of the Qing dynasty (1644-1911); she reaches further back to the Ming dynasty (1368-1644) to unveil the indigenous elements of Han Chinese dress. She also brings the development of Chinese dress up to the present day. Ms Garrett's detailed guide to costume spans six centuries and cuts across the social classes - from the elaborately embroidered silks of the Ming emperors' ceremonial robes to the cotton tunic and trousers of the lowliest labourers and servants. She documents rural and modern urban clothing, military uniforms, children's clothing, wedding and funeral attire, areas largely ignored by previous works in the field. Virtually no details are left uncovered - from scholars' hats, children's lucky charms, jewelry, hairstyles and shoes, right down to noblewomen's underwear. Yet the book is not a mere catalogue of Chinese dress; it also provides the historical, cultural and social fabric of Chinese costume up through the modern day."
