Overview
Liberty's dress department opened in 1884, headed by Edward William Godwin, an architect with a multi-faceted career and an important figure in the Aesthetic Movement. From the mid-nineteenth-century, women fought against restrictive clothing such as tight-laced corsets and heavy petticoats which were harmful to their health and chose instead to dress in looser fitting dresses, coloured with natural dyes and ornamented with embroidery and needlework. With archival materials and previously unpublished pattern books, Anna Buruma navigates Liberty's role in artistic dress.
