Following the retirement in 2008 of Dr Ann Saunders (now Editor Emeritus) and former Assistant
Editor, Dr Maria Hayward, there is a new editorial team for the Society’s journal.
Penelope Byrde and Verity Wilson are Joint Editors with Naomi Tarrant as Reviews Editor.
The new team’s complementary expertise and experience as curators, writers and lecturers ensure
a wide network of contacts throughout the diverse world of dress and textile studies.
Costume - Aims and Scope:
It is a scholarly, refereed, academic publication presenting current research into historic
and contemporary dress. The journal publishes articles that are primarily object-based, from
a broad chronological period and with a worldwide remit.
Costume maintains a balance between practice and theory and concentrates on the social significance
of dress. Articles are welcomed from established researchers and those new to the field.
The articles published in Costume are sent out for peer-review to ensure that they are of
a high standard and make a contribution to dress history. The articles are accompanied by
an extensive selection of book, exhibition and conference reviews, as well as listings of
new books and articles published during the year, all of which seek to reflect the diverse
range of material published about dress.
