Description

176 pages. Index. Glossary. Abundantly illustrated with black and white photographic plates, diagrams and illustrations. "It is impossible to appreciate the design of clothes of the past, and certainly quite impossiible to reproduce them accurately, without understanding the shapes of these artificial foundation garments. This book is a study of these shapes and how they were produced." Structural drawings and patterns are provided from existing specimens and are selected to show the evolution of the main shapes." - from Preface. Heavy wear. Spine and front hinge tapled. Usual library markings. A worthy reference copy of this inspiring historical fashion review. Book
