In her compelling Material Lives, Serena Dyer tackles an exceptional legacy: four ladies’ ingenious sartorial designs on which they worked for most of their lives. Dyer’s masterful analysis of these material sources immerses the reader in the world of polite society and British fashion between the 1750s and the 1820s, shedding new light on the creative and fluid boundaries between makers and consumers.
