I originally posted this question on the [livejournal.com profile] whatwasthatbook community, but, assuming this is a carry over of that com, it doesn't look like any of the original posts were imported here, so I'll re-post it here. I'm not certain I ever got an answer there.

A long time ago there was this picture book I read as a kid that for some reason remains stuck in my head. It's about an older sister who has to deal with who I think is her newborn sister and her worn out parents. There's a side-story about her desire to become a grown up and wanting a pair of shoes from the shoe store she can't quite fit into yet because her feet are too small and she hasn't had a growth spurt.

I've been trying to remember the title of this old book but I can't think of it, for the life of me. It had illustrations of clothing/accessories/etc. from ancient dress (the illustrations of Egyptian fashion were done to resemble hieroglyphics) up to the "current" time period of the latest edition I remember reading (I want to say at least the '50s, possibly '60s-'70s and it may have been updated since). I've looked on Amazon but none of the books I looked at quite ping my memory. It might have had "encyclopedia" somewhere in the title.
