An extremely interesting and valuable book, featuring a chronology of the uniforms of the British Navy and a large number of really excellent photographs - and some sketches indicating the construction of the garments (mostly the coats, fair enough) at the back. Anyone interested in writing or costuming for the period will want this. My only regret is that I have it as an ebook, when this really wants to live on my coffee table. ( ) A phenomenal study of the dress of the Royal Navy in the period between 1748-1857. Masterfully researched and well written, Amy Miller uses original garments to show the development of the Royal Navy uniform. Miller does an excellent job at showing how contemporary civilian fashion trends initially influenced the development of the Navy's uniforms, and how later on, the Navy would be at the forefront of fashion trends, influencing civilian clothing. I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in the Royal Navy, military uniforms, or the history of mens fashion. The high quality color photos and patterns of many original garments make this book a must have in any collection. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Detailed analysis of the naval uniform and its historical, social, and economic contexts. Dressed to Kill provides an extensive catalog of uniforms from the collection at London's National Maritime Museum, accompanied by a selection of patterns that examine the construction of the garments as well as personal papers, diaries, and other period artifacts. Amy Miller demonstrates the significance of male fashion and uniform in the forging of a national, hierarchical, and gendered identity in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. This fully updated and expanded second edition of the 2007 publication contains additional research that provides a greater understanding of the political and social changes that influenced not only what the Royal Navy wore, but why they wore it. Parliamentary records, newspapers, and museum archives give a greater contextualization of the relationship that naval uniform represented--the confluence of politics and economics, fashion and popular culture.
