Description: | At the beginning of the 19th century most people's clothes were made by hand - either by tailors and dressmakers or at home. By the end of the century, however, mass production of items such shirts and trousers meant that ready-made clothes became cheaper. Large department stores and clothiers like Wilmot & Wilson’s stocked almost everything from hosiery and underwear to overcoats and sporting jackets. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Unknown | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
