Description: Wannet Clyde compiles their research on Black fashion history in this informative zine with the mission of "understanding the circumstances of life and dress in relation to this Black history." The first volume highlights the historical importance of clothing as an act of autonomous self expression for enslaved peoples and the connection between Black labor and the cotton and textile industry. Clyde also provides a plethora of resources including patterns for historical clothing, Black historical reenactors, and modern fiber artists. The end of the first volume also elaborates on the legacy and importance of dollmaking, providing a doll pattern for readers to make their own.  — Nayla Delgado
