The textbook Survey of Historic Costume, 7th Edition, by Phyllis G. Tortora and Sara B. Marcketti, provides college and university students with a comprehensive study of Western dress from ancient civilizations to contemporary times. The text connects historical attire with global perspectives, helping students identify recurring concepts across different eras.
Coverage spans early Mesopotamian, Greek, and Roman attire, moving systematically through medieval Europe, the Italian and Northern Renaissance, and the Baroque and Rococo periods. Beginning with the Jazz Age, dedicated decade-by-decade chapters outline modern fashion developments from the 1920s through the 2010s.
To reinforce key ideas, the volume includes over 600 images illustrating recurring themes throughout costume history. This visual material offers students in higher education courses a direct resource for studying how clothing forms evolve over time.
