This book is about
The book is all about people trying to be gorgeous by having nice clothes to wear.

The main characters are
Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, Tudors, Medieval people and the Victorians.

My favourite part of the book is
When some Egyptians used reeds to make their clothes and had to remember to dry them first! It was funny!

I would also like to say
Some children had to wear similar clothes to their parents.
