DESCRIPTION:
Really excellent, very detailed yet accessible I've been eyeing this book for a while but finally broke down and bought it SO glad I did. I haven't tried this era yet but would like to, and this book is going to prove invaluable. It has an excellent balance of examples in era portraiture, many clear photos of the item with detailed captions, even x-rays! The unexpected bonus was the pages of sewing directions, complete with illustrations, for nearly all of the patterns given. There is also an intro chapter on all the types of hand-sewn seams used on the garment, and how to reproduce them. Very detailed.I've only given it a once-over since it arrived in the mail today,.
