Riffling through the wardrobes of years gone by, costume historian Lucy Adlington reveals the rich stories underlying the clothes we wear in this stylish tour of the most important developments in the history of fashion, from ancient times to the present day. Starting with underwear – did you know Elizabeth I owned just one pair of drawers, worn only after her death? – she moves garment by garment through Western attire, exploring both the items we still wear every day and those that have gone the way of the dodo (sugared petticoats, farthingales and spatterdashers to name but a few).Beautifully illustrated throughout, and crammed with fascinating and eminently quotable facts, Stitches in Time shows how the way we dress is inextricably bound up with considerations of aesthetics, sex, gender, class and lifestyle – and offers us the chance to truly appreciate the extraordinary qualities of these, our most ordinary possessions.

Na pozadí holokaustu, nacistického vykořisťování a módního průmyslu za války nabízí historička Lucy Adlington pohled na životy pětadvaceti převážně židovských vězeňkyň z Osvětimi. Ty měly jediný úkol: šít šaty pro ženy vysoce postavených nacistů v salonu založeném manželkou Rudolfa Hösse. Autorka čerpá mimo jiné ze svých rozhovorů s jednou ze švadlen a neopomíná zdůraznit lásku a přátelství, které ženám pomohly přežít a sehrát roli v táborovém odboji.

Both areas were to benefit greatly from the coming of the railway in the mid-1800s and then the Tube towards the end of the century, which established their suburbanisation and rapid development. Almost overnight, row upon row of Victorian terraced housing was built, as well as shops, pubs and entertainment venues.
