I've finally got motivated! But I've come across a couple of articles that would be useful for my methodology chapter and I can't get them from my uni. They may be a bit obscure but if anyone could track one or both down for me I would be eternally grateful.

Kidwell, C, 'Short Gowns', Dress, 1978, 4, 30-65.
Turnbaugh, S. P. 'The seriation of fashion', Home Economics Research Journal, 1979, 7(4), 241-248.

Thanks in advance.

sorry Pam, no joy, I thought I had them but no :-(

they sound intriguing though, particularly the first one -1978 - were they not wearing maxi dresses back then???:p

I can't access it either, sorry :-(

No luck here either. :(
