Fashion - History

General researching tips:

Read your "Fashion History Card" for any keywords that have to do with your fashion time period.  What do I mean by that?  Let me give you an example, the card for the late 1970s mentions designer Jessica McClintock and her Gunne Sax dresses.  Jessica McClintock and Gunne Sax would be good terms to look up to learn more.  Use this strategy to compare the similarities and differences with the Victorian Era.
