Two-page encyclopedia entry defining fashion as the style of dress of a brief period, and distinguishing it from costume by scale and permanency. It uses examples from Munich and Bavarian peasant dress, then outlines changes in men's and women's dress from the French Revolution through the Louis Philippe era, the crinoline and hoopskirt period, Bloomer's rational dress, the princess dress and the tailor-made gown, up to about 1920. It ends with a short bibliography of works on dress history.
