- Title
Better and Brighter Clothes: The Men's Dress Reform Party, 1929–1940.
- Authors
Burman, Barbara
- Abstract
The article explores the ideas and context which informed the Men's Dress Reform Party (MDRP) from 1929 to 1940 in Great Britain. According to the author, the MDRP is more fairly situated within a loose cluster of progressive individuals and groups whose reform agenda of the first third of this century range well beyond dress. In addition, the MDRP suggests that one should qualify the use of the term movement for British dress reform recognizing that there may have been more diversity and less common cause than is sometimes suggested.
