Through the biographies of eleven individual clothing workers across the UK, this book presents a revealing picture of 19th-century working life. Its subjects were tailors, dressmakers, milliners and shoemakers, and for many of them, difficult clients, financial problems and trouble with the law made for a precarious existence in which success or failure depended on luck as much as judgement.
