Wonderful fashion history book submitted by MarilynG on August 11, 2008, 9:24am This book is a must for every fashion history buff and costumer. The illustrations are beautiful is the text is to the point. There is a reference guide on the right side of each page with a summary of the clothing and accessories used in the era and country represented. There are also cross-references which are very helpful.
