Great book of Pictures
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
As a costumer for the high school i find it difficult to find books that are comprehensive with pictures of enough time periods to find what i am looking for. This book shows enough examples to get the styles across, unfortunately it is in black and white but it is still detailed and wonderful.
Considered a classic reference by historic re-creationists

Comprhensive text on clothing, the influences and evolution of style. Covers the impacts of cultural changes and how the dictates of fashion are influenced by changes in daily life. Covers historical fads and fancies. A 'must have' basic reference for the amatuer historic costumer. This review based on the Hardcover version.
