Well so much for Summer, sigh.

The Victorian Society of Alberta
by Andrew Lane
Published in 1987 and covering the time period of 1900 to 1910, this short (32 pages) overview of what people wore while travelling in the increasingly popular motor cars of the early 20th century is fascinating.
The many photographs and illustrations provide excellent examples for those who wish to create their own, and the accompanying text provides sufficient detail and context to further understand the logic behind choosing such garments.
An quick and enjoyable read with plenty of material to spur further research if you are so inclined.
