Fashion Victims: The Dangers of Dress Past and PresentFrom insidious murder weapons to blaze igniting crinolines, clothing has been the cause of death, disease and madness throughout history, by accident and design. Clothing is designed to protect, shield and comfort us, yet lurking amongst seemingly innocuous garments we find hats laced with mercury, frocks laden with arsenic and literally 'drop dead gorgeous' gowns. Fabulously gory and gruesome, Fashion Victims takes the reader on a fascinating journey

From insidious murder weapons to blaze-igniting crinolines, clothing has been the cause of death, disease and madness throughout history, by accident and design. Clothing is designed to protect, shield and comfort us, yet lurking amongst seemingly innocuous garments we find hats laced with mercury, frocks laden with arsenic and literally 'drop-dead gorgeous' gowns.

Fabulously gory and gruesome, Fashion Victims takes the reader on a fascinating journey through the lethal history of women's, men's and children's dress, in myth and reality. Drawing upon surviving fashion objects and numerous visual and textual sources, encompassing louse-ridden military uniforms, accounts of the fiery deaths of Oscar Wilde's half-sisters and dancer Isadora Duncan's accidental strangulation by entangled scarf; the book explores how garments have tormented those who made and wore them, and harmed animals and the environment in the process. Vividly chronicling evidence from Greek mythology to the present day, Matthews David puts everyday apparel under the microscope and unpicks the dark side of fashion.

Fashion Victims is lavishly illustrated with over 125 images and is a remarkable resource for everyone from scholars and students to fashion enthusiasts.

Impressive Quality and Results
Size: 16 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I’ve been using Nature's Way Organic MCT Oil (16 Fl Oz) for several months, and it has truly exceeded my expectations. The oil is sourced from organic coconuts and contains both C8 Caprylic Acid and C10 Capric Acid, which are known for their benefits in supporting energy and mental clarity. I love that it is both Keto and Paleo certified, making it a perfect addition to my diet. The neutral taste and smooth texture make it easy to add to coffee, smoothies, or salad dressings without altering the flavor. It blends well and never leaves an oily residue. Whether I’m starting my morning with a bulletproof coffee or adding a boost to my shakes, Nature’s Way MCT Oil fits seamlessly into my routine. The fact that this MCT oil is USDA Organic and Non-GMO Project Verified gives me peace of mind about its purity and quality. I feel confident that I’m fueling my body with a clean product free from unwanted additives or chemicals. Since incorporating this oil, I’ve noticed an increase in my sustained energy levels and improved focus throughout the day. It helps me feel full longer, which is great for intermittent fasting and maintaining my Keto lifestyle. I also appreciate that it supports both brain and body health as advertised. I highly recommend Nature's Way Organic MCT Oil to anyone looking for a high-quality MCT supplement. It’s great for athletes, those on Keto or Paleo diets, or anyone seeking a clean, effective source of energy. The packaging is sturdy, the pour spout is convenient, and the value for the price is excellent. I’ll definitely be repurchasing.
