Delicate and impractical, white cloth in the past was difficult to obtain, as well as to keep clean. It is a symbol of purity but also of class superiority, privilege, and the display of leisure. It represents the menace of the Ku Klux Klan, but also the transition of a bride to the married state. It can be the appropriate dress for mourning and shrouds. White lace is ethereal; straitjackets are tough stuff. White clothing has been a marker of innocence and simplicity for women, but also of calculated, high-maintenance fashion. And for men, white can be evidence of power. But for many, white is a startling absence of color, the epitome of elegance."--Jacket flap. 650 0 $a Clothing and dress $x History. $x History. 650 0 $a Fashion $x History. 650 0 $a White. 650 0 $a Costume $x History. 650 0 $a Clothing and dress $x History $y 20th century. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20230804011706.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=FFEFE376010B11EEB5B5CDCD2BECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
