Costume

Volume 43 (2009), 1 issue per year

Costume is the journal of the Costume Society. It is a scholarly, refereed, academic publication presenting current research into historic and contemporary dress.

The journal publishes articles primarily object-based, from a broad chronological period and with a worldwide remit. Costume maintains a balance between practice and theory and concentrates on the social significance of dress. Articles are welcomed from established researchers and those new to the field.

The articles published in Costume are sent out for peer-review to ensure that they are of a high standard and make a contribution to dress history. The articles are accompanied by an extensive selection of book, exhibition and conference reviews, as well as listings of new books and articles published during the year, all of which seek to reflect the diverse range of material published about dress.

Published in full colour throughout in 2009.
