100 Things to Wear

The National Trust looks after more than 30,000 items of dress – from attire of extraordinary luxury to practical, everyday working clothes. This illustrated book features a selection of 100 important examples charting over 500 years of changing tastes and fashions. It explores the breadth and depth of the National Trust’s dress collection, from attire of extraordinary luxury to everyday items worn by those who lived and worked in the Trust’s historic houses. Held at properties across England, Wales and Northern Ireland, the collection showcases a wealth of lived experiences from the opulence of the Tudors to the Windrush generation.
