HIstoric Fasion ~ Detailed
| Customer Rating: | A wonderful book. Filled with fabulous color pictures and line drawings.
A must have for the 19th century clothing collector and those who make reproduction costume. Wide varitey of textiles. Abundant details. Excellent discussion on each costume. Straight to the point and easy to digest. You won't go wrong with this book. Buy it. |
A BIG Let Down!
| Customer Rating:  | | This big glossy picture book is a big let down because all it shows is parts and pieces of garments. The details are useless without getting to see the effect on the whole garment. Who needs a book filled with collar and cuff close-ups? If you are looking for great pictures of 19th century dress- This is NOT the book for you! |
Simply breathtaking!
| Customer Rating: | | This book is a visual feast for the eyes! I have gone through it over and over again, and each time I find something new! The coverage of the detail of each type of design is explicit, right down to the buttons and the thread. The book details things like the innovations in fashion, as well as common reviews of the time. In some cases, it also talks about the people behind the items that are featured, such as when they wore the items or their lifestyle. Beautifully done - exceptional photography! |
Stupid Amazon!
| Customer Rating: | Don't bother ordering this through Amazon - They're out of stock and haven't been able to get more copies since February. My order keeps being delayed the day that it lists that it's supposed to ship. It's more expensive elsewhere, but at least you've got the option of actually getting it. I broke down and paid double the price listed by Amazon just so that I could stop waiting for it to arrive each month.
I've heard this is a fantastic reference. Now if only I could get a copy! |
The best book for research in making historical costume
| Customer Rating: | | I found this book gives so many fine details of the clothing made in this century. It's a great help for ideas in trimming my own costumes, and shows how it was done in line drawings. The examples are awesome. |
