Dorothy Quigley’s What Dress Makes of Us is a witty study of how clothing shapes the impression a person makes, surveying the ways dress can flatter or betray the wearer. Quigley examines lines, colors, and styles, showing how thoughtful choices in fashion influence perception.
Written with humor and a sharp eye, the book treats dress as a form of self-expression and social signaling. Quigley’s observations reflect the period’s growing interest in fashion psychology. An entertaining and insightful guide to the effects of dress, it is offered here as a free EPUB download.
