Moralists have raged through history against fashions which are too short, too long, too tight, too loose or too costly. This book looks at fashion extremes over the centuries, from the sexual display of the codpiece through to corsets, crinolines and decolletage.

Packed with photographs that give additional information and insight into the clothes worn by sitters in their portraits, and complements by related material including tailor's bills and fabric designs, this authoritative guide looks in detail at one of the most fascinating aspects of the best-known images of the last 500 years.
