Dress and fashion are central to our understanding of art. From the stylization of the body to subtle textile embellishments and richly symbolic colors, dress tells a story and provides clues as to the cultural beliefs of the time in which artworks were produced. This concise and accessible book provides a step-by-step guide to analysing dress in art, including paintings, photographs, drawings and art installations.
The first section of the book includes an introduction to visual analysis and explains how to 'read' fashion and dress in an artwork using the checklists. The second section offers case studies which demonstrate how artworks can be analysed from the point of view of key themes including status and identity, modernity, ideals of beauty, gender, race, globalization and politics. The book includes iconic as well as lesser known works of art, including work by Elisabeth Vig e le Brun, Thomas Gainsborough, James Jacques Tissot, Marcel Duchamp and Man Ray, Yinka Shonibare, Mickalene Thomas, Kent Monkman and many others. Reading Fashion in Art is the perfect text for students of fashion coming to art history for the first time as well as art history students studying dress in art and will be an essential handbook for any gallery visitor. The step-by-step methodology helps the reader learn to look at any work of art that includes the dressed or undressed body and confidently develop a critical analysis of what they see.Binding Type: Paperback

The sheet is too short for my liking
Color: Heather Grey(flat Sheet Only), Size: King
This king sized top sheet wasn’t quite long enough for a good tuck-in. Can’t comment on wearability because I won’t be using it. Did not return because I had washed it

Warm and Soft
Color: Solid Forest Green(flat Sheet Only), Size: King
I wanted a sheet that felt warm in the cold weather. Upon reviewing several other sheets, I took a chance on this type. I’m happy I did, no more cold feet in bed! It washes and dries (on low temp.) very well too.

So I’ve purchased these twice
I purchased these sheets twice because I like them that much. I’m really particular about the texture and material of the sheets I use. After trying jersey sheets about 5-6 years ago, I refused to go back to microfiber. They have the feel of a t-shirt, but it’s your bedding. I love the feeling for my pillowcases, too.
This brand’s sheets fit my mattress perfectly. My mattress is a queen sized Casper mattress and 11 inches thick. I’m also a restless sleeper. If the sheets don’t have deep enough pockets, the corners become loose and the fitted sheet tries to escape the mattress. These stay perfectly in place no matter how much I move.
As a general note, though, since I see this a lot—PLEASE check the thickness of your mattress! Not all sheets have the same pocket depth! If your mattress is 8 inches thick and you’re buying sheets that are for 6 inches of thickness, it’s not going to fit right! If your mattress is 8 inches thick and you’re purchasing sheets that are for 11+ inches of thickness, they’re more than likely going to be too big, but more likely to stay in place if you buy too small. Still, loose sheets tend to bunch on the actual sleep surface and create uncomfortable fabric ridges. Don’t do that to yourself. Buy the right sized sheets for your mattress!
For me, these are perfect! I love the colors available. I tend to buy lighter grays and teals for my bed. They survive my restless sleeping and yucky, sticky humidity of northeastern coast summers. The color doesn’t bleed out when washed. They’re such a soft, comfy texture.
The other thing about jersey knit sheets is that the top sheet drapes over your body with a bit more weight. Microfiber is lighter and doesn’t give you the ‘completely covered’ feeling that I find I love about the jersey knit sheets. The jersey knit sheets, I find, because of the material weight, naturally sit and slightly conform to the form they are draped upon. Once again, being a restless sleeper, I do not have to worry that my tossing and turning will cause the sheet to attempt escape from my bed and body on its own. But they also do not make me feel additional warmth. I do not like being hot when I sleep. They are perfectly cool on their own or with a light knit blanket on top. They won’t trap in heat that you don’t want them to. If you want to trap heat, add a warmer blanket.
They do tend to be a little on the expensive side in comparison to other jersey knit sheets, so I tend to wait for the sales to grab them! But I really, really like this brand.

High Quality - Great Price
Size: Queen, Color: Blue
Great sheets. They are soft, wash up well, fit as stated. The fabric makes it easier to make the bed. I would recommend to everyone.
