Abstract

This New Zealand handbook for secondary school students covers the work prescribed for the School Certificate Examination in Clothing. Chapters on the wider study of clothing touch on history, geography, aesthetics, psychology, and chemistry, to name a few. Using a question-based technique rather than laying down rules, the book asks questions such as how the student might manage a clothing budget within an allowance. The book builds a rational basis for clothing selection and wardrobe planning, including how to choose clothes and accessories appropriate to personality and age.
