A travel through time looking at how skirts/dresses have changed and impacted fashion and society.

I like how this book focused on certain iconic garments (little black dress, mini skirt, poodle skirt, and even undergarments)and really got into the details. A lot of research definitely went into this. This book felt like a cross between fashion magazine, historical nonfiction, and feminist piece.

I did like how it got toward modern issues such as body positivity, gender roles, and equality near the end. Men can wear skirts too, just like women can wear pants.

This book was informative, but I wish the last couple chapters could have been a bigger portion. Who knows what skirts will look like in the future!

Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for providing me a copy of this Audiobook for my honest review.

I was pleasantly surprised by what a delight this book was! I loved hearing about all the historical tidbits throughout that were connected to such a simple-seeming pice of clothing. A very rich history of SKIRTS.

This one I devoured in one day! I absolutely love the writing. This book is so fascinating and how fashion progressed and digressed over the years! I love the discussion of Marilyn Monroe and then how coming to age dressing has changed over the years! Truly the most fascinating read this year! I listened to this book on audio and it was fabulous.
