The Lost Art of Dress

The Lost Art of Dress
Linda Przybyszewski (pronounced Preh-beh-SHEV-ski), earned her PhD in U.S. History at Stanford University. She was trained as a legal historian, but she also comes from a long line of sewing women, and thus possesses these two sets of skills -- research and dressmaking.

Women value their youth and tend to want to dress so that they don't come across as "old."

Are more mature women trying to follow the trend of dressing too young for their age?

Linda tells the story of how women learned how to dress for the 20th Century and talks about how the principals of art can be applied to clothing and how you dress.
