Microfilm of a thesis entitled "The General Trends and Characteristics of Utah Pioneer Dress from 1847-1875," written by Fairfax Proudfit Walkup for her M.A. from the University of Utah in 1947. Based on research from the Utah Pioneer Costume and Manners Research Project, the paper set out to "discover in what particulars Utah pioneer dress followed the prevailing general lines and characteristics of current fashions and why it did so". The study focused on women's dress, including "whole costumes ... to items of women's underwear- chemises ... corsets, drawers ... nightgowns, petticoats, and stockings; and to certain items of children's clothing." Includes illustrations and bibliography.
