Describes how clothing for girls in the United States has reflected society's changing views on children, from dressing girls as little adults in the seventeenth century to allowing girls to express themselves by choosing from a variety of styles in the twenty-first century. Who thought up bloomers? Why were three-year-old colonial girls bound up in corsets? How did fashions such as voluminous muttonchop sleeves and incredibly wide hoopskirts catch on? From corsets and bustles to blue jeans and bell-bottoms, an acclaimed author of art books for children takes a thoughtful look at what American girls have been wearing from Colonial times to the present. Through pictures and a lively text, Leslie Sills presents practical as well as outrageous garments, how clothing was made, the people who made the clothes, and how fashion was marketed to women. This book includes more than sixty pictures and photographs, a glossary, index, bibliography, webography, and list of museums with costume collections.… (meer)

This book will highly engage intermediate or even middle level readers. It shows different aspects of clothing that girls in the past have worn during various phases in America. It includes images, descriptions, real life people, and a glossary to supplement the information provided.
Girls who are interested in fashion or history may particularly enjoy this book and it will add to their understanding of their personal rights in modern times to dress as they choose. ( )

It is about the different clothing that was worn through out the centuries. Some of the clothing was from the 1950's while others were more modern from the twentieth century. The clothing discussed in this book was about what women wear and how their style and dress of clothing has changed over the centuries.

Leslie Sills does an excellent job doing exactly what the title says: giving an history of girls' clothing in America. One thing that stands out in particular is the diversity in pictures. Sills not only presents a history of white America's girls' clothing, but she also uses pictures of girls from a variety of cultures and backgrounds throughout history. Social commentary accompanies fashion trends, allowing readers an informed understanding of what, when, and why trends changed. It's an excellent source if you're looking for girls-specific fashion history. ( )

A book about style and fashion in Old America to Modern America. It shows us the influences and dress by mainly Europe and how dress defines how a girl should behave especially in public. Very information and historical. For example, bloomers were introduced to U.S. by a women's style from Turkey as wide pants ruffled right above the ankle to allow comfort for the girls during the old times only to be banned in about eight years by men who were complaining about these style of pants. "Keds still known today were the first sneakers to be invented in 1917." "Appearance began to be graded in schools." That is how important dress is and was. A very good book for there-fifth graders as it interesting and informational about the trend in the United States as well as the women's behavior in the golden beautiful days. ( )
