Portrait of Mariana Victoria of Spain, by Alexis-Simon Belle, 1725. At the time, Mariana was 7 years old. Before the 20th century, children wore clothes that were similar to that of adults. Actually children were treated like adults. #arthistory #painting #fashionhistory

Trends Magazine, the magazine for Canadian fashion retailers, has a nice little feature written by Kirsten Mogg on my new book, Behind the Seams.
