More to follow...
Let's do this Chapter by Chapter, since the long-range goal is initially garb for every chapter in my History of Fashion text book, Survey of Historic Costume by Tortora. Wouldn't it be fun to lecture, properly dressed for the subject?
I can skip Chapter 1 or plan on dressing as a cave woman....nope....not.
Likewise, for Chapter 2 - The Ancient World - Egypt & Mesopotamia - the Egyptian women did NOT wear enough. I'd be arrested for indecent exposure!
Therefore, this will begin with Chapter 3 and progress through at least Chapter 14...as follows:
