Vintage Clothing 1880-1980 Overview

All the fashion raves for men, women, children, and infants are dressed with updated descriptions and current values. Maryanne Dolan makes this the perfect resource for costume designers, seamstresses, dollmakers, and historians, too. It's a nostalgic walk down the fashion runway that recalls the outrageous and the conservative clothing of a very stylish century.

Vintage Clothing 1880-1980 Specifications

Though the text is minimal and the illustrations are black and white, Vintage Clothing is packed with ideas for costume designers, clothing collectors and restorers, and even experienced home sewers who'd like to incorporate some historic flair into their designs. Using a combination of period fashion illustrations, old photographs, contemporary photos of period clothes, and detailed captions, the volume traces the evolution of a century of clothing styles. Although not as nicely produced as many other costume/fashion history books, the sheer variety and number of details on every page make it a worthwhile reference. Also included are estimates of the outfits' worth in today's market.
