This review is from: Folk Dress in Europe and Anatolia: Beliefs about Protection and Fertility (Dress, Body, Culture) (Paperback)
This book is a collection of essays by nine different scholars and covers many subjects such as embroidery design motifs, fertility and women's roles as signified by their clothing. It offers not only a basis by which to view European textiles, but also prehistorical artifacts, modern day rituals and even Ukrainian Easter egg designs. It is fascinating reading. Be aware though, that with the exception of an essay on Norwegian use of metal in dress and one on Turkish dress, all the essays concern eastern Europe - no Scotland, Spain, Germany, etc. It is also pretty much exclusively about women's dress as well, so there is very little about men's dress. For the topics it covers, though, it is fairly in depth and each essay has its own bibliography. A great book.
