This volume of style clues for fashion detectives weaves fascinating elements of social history into tales of how, why, and when fashions evolved. Hundreds of sequential illustrations highlight the style flourishes that identify garments for men, women, and children as products of their individual periods. The images are accompanied by highly readable -- and often humorous -- comments and explanations by author and illustrator Betty Kreisel Shubert. A noted fashion historian, Ms. Shubert is a columnist for Ancestry Magazine and has designed clothes and costumes for stage and screen as well as hotels, restaurants, and casinos all over the world.
Ranging decade by decade from the nineteenth through twentieth centuries, this book offers a simple way to date photographs and clothing. It also provides background that makes less-accessible histories of costume easier to understand. This second edition, enhanced with a selection of new photographs, offers a valuable resource for costumers, vintage fashion enthusiasts, social historians, genealogists, and collectors of nostalgia items. The easy-to-follow format makes it a great browsing book even for those who are unversed in fashion design and history.

"A great reference book. I can't wait to put it to use " -- Maureen Taylor, The Photo Detective

"Fascinating I couldn't put it down. The author shows how social development influenced how we dress. I would certainly include this book in my theater classes for its value to future costumers, directors, and actors." -- Allen M. Zeltzer, Professor of Theater, Emeritus, Cal-State University at Fullerton

Very thin and comfortable. Wash well.
Very thin sock if that is what you are looking for. They stay up and wash well. There is a toe seam but you can position it out of the way

So comfy and just the right size
These are the cutest most versatile socks. The weave is just right, not too thick or thin. They don't fall or shift down your heel while walking in shoes. They launder exceptionally well. The height on the ankle is perfect for jeans, business casual pants or a quick change into gym clothes. I need more.

Cute and comfortable
This six-pack of ankle socks is a great value. All of the colors are useful to me and go well with a variety of clothes. The ruffle around the top and the nice detailed knit pattern make them very cute! The fabric is stretchy and comfortable. Mostly cotton, they did seem to shrink a little bit in the wash (I machine-washed in cold water and tumbled dry on low) but they are stretchy enough that they still fit my size 8 feet just fine. See photo, brown are new, blue have gone through the wash.
