You might think that a book addressing women's relationship to clothes would be about as interesting as a trip to Debenhams whilst your partner picks shoes for a wedding outfit. Fortunately you'd be wrong. What you actually have is a fascinating social history exploring a complex and complicated story. Add some lengthy interviews and case-studies, overviews of historical developments such as the rise of department stores and you have an entertaining, enlightening and engaging read!
