Does anyone know a good book on fashion dress through the ages. My problem is this: My brother inlaw is going to a church where they make the women wear dresses and no questions are asked. Everything that I have heard about the days of Jesus' everyone wore ropes. [robes? --clh] Sure I know the Old Testament says women should not dress as a man or visa versa. But the subject came up at work about where did pants come from. I was told that the women made pantalooms and man pick up on thenm in Europe I think Italy. If this is true than this doctrine about women only wearing dresses is not from the bible. At least I cann't find it. I would like any info on this topic of fashion from the past. Please use reply or followup to reply to this I will post my findings. Thanks ahead of time. Joel A. Haynes JHAYNES%mps.ohio-state.edu@RELAY.CS.NET
