Dressing the Past
Dressing the Past edited by Margarita Gleba, Cherine Munkholt, and Marie-Louise Nosch
Not so much a discussion of what people wore as how people reconstruct, as best they can, what people wore. Observations on everything from Scythian women wearing elaborate headdresses because most of the gold ornaments in their graves had to have been on it, to tracing the history of Hollywood's use of historical accuracy.
