Encyclopedia article surveying the history of fashion in Western Europe, chiefly England, from Roman and Anglo-Saxon dress to the 1870s. It covers men's and women's clothing by reign, including the Norman period, Tudor and Stuart styles, 18th-century wigs, hoops and cocked hats, and the post-1790 shift to pantaloons, trousers and frock-coats. Engravings illustrate costume of the 15th, 16th and 17th centuries and a gentleman of 1750. It ends with remarks on the moral view of fashion, quoting Hazlitt, and a reference to Mrs Stone's Chronicles of Fashion.
