520 _a"Costume: Fanciful, Historical and Theatrical" by Mrs. Aria is a compilation focusing on the evolution of clothing and fashions through various historical periods, written in the early 20th century. The work delves into the intricacies of costume design from classic times to more modern influences, drawing connections between attire and cultural contexts. The illustrations by Percy Anderson enrich the text, showcasing the vivid styles and trends that defined different eras. At the start of the book, the author introduces the concept of fashion, noting its limited scope in ancient Roman society, where dress was strictly regulated by societal norms and laws. She discusses the toga and the tunic as prevalent garments, emphasizing the lack of individuality in fashion during those times. The text highlights Boadicea’s preference for Roman attire during her rebellion against the Romans, setting a historical context for the discussion of clothing through the ages. Mrs. Aria’s narrative is both informative and reflective, establishing a foundation for examining the artistry of costume across various chapters, focusing on details such as fabrics, styles, and cultural significance.
