Description:
Winner of the Association of Dress Historians Book of the Year Award, 2022


Traditionally associated with rural ways of life in England, often hand-crafted and held up as one of the only items of English folk dress to survive into the 20th century, the smock frock is an object of curiosity in many museum collections. Drawing on a wide variety of sources from surviving garments to newspapers and photographs, this book reveals the hidden history of the smock frock to present new social histories.


Discussing the smock frock in its widest contexts, Alison Toplis explores how garments were handmade and manufactured by the ready-made clothing industry, and bought by men of different trades. She traces the smock frock's usage across England as well as in export markets such as Australia. Following the garment's decline in the late 19th century, the book investigates how this essentially utilitarian style of workwear came to be held up as an example of disappearing 'peasant' craft in an emotional response to urbanisation, and how it was preserved by collectors under the influence of the Arts and Crafts movement.


Around the turn of the 20th century, the smock frock was reinvented as both women's and children's wear and is now regularly revived in fashion collections by the likes of Molly Goddard. Drawing together extensive visual and material cultures, Alison Toplis unravels a new history of the smock frock.

Lasted less than 60 seconds - 6 month puppy.
Flavor Name: Peanut Butter, Size: 4 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Lasted less than 60 seconds ! Stop calling a product a chew. When there is nothing lasting. I should start returning products that are misrepresented. And stop reading reviews.

Great product
Oh my God, my dogs love these they inhale them, but I only give them one a day or even one every other day. It's perfect. It doesn't have ingredients in it that my dogs are allergic to like 99% of the treats and dog food have it so that's this is gonna be a definitely definitely thing that I'm gonna purchase for them. My dog is allergic to furrous sulfate and why people put this in their animals foods I don't know, but they need to stop really putting things in it that doesn't really be necessary. This is great has nothing in it so hundred percent matter fact I'm reading it right now. It was for small dogs, medium dogs and large dogs. Well my dog's 130 pounds. The other one is 190 you cannot give this to puppies under three months old I don't know why but one thing is the package itself doesn't save the ingredients. Maybe this is it biscuit chicken coconut, peanut butter, some kind of starch and sorbitol, but it's only 2% so it's not bad but that is unnecessary to put in any Dog or cat for that matters.
