"""This amply illustrated, attractive book is valuable for dress history scholars and makes a reasonably priced, ideal textbook for courses on clothing and cultural history. But it is also relevant for the most significant, growing and vital field of East–West exchanges, as well as for history surveys of Europe, the Mediterranean world, and the Middle East, anthropology, ethnography, and the history of identity and mentality.""—Journal of Dress History ""The book is lavishly illustrated in colour; many images have lengthy and helpful captions. A brief glossary is also useful, as is a more comprehensive index. The illustrations include only a very few of the surviving garments from the periods and categories in question — dress survives poorly. For this reason, Jirousek relies on prints, paintings, the odd sculpture and photography and film for the later period — these are the best and sometimes only sources.""—Amanda Phillips, University of Virginia, Textile History"
