raynor phinnemore –
a useful cllection to be used by the director and production team in the local amateur drama group, next year
Caroline Cadlock –
Bought to help with the making of costumes for an amateur dramatic group. Has been very useful in showing what things should look like
Laprilla –
Flipped through this and found it very neat. It’s a book purely with illustrations of outfits in various time periods going back very far. The further back, the less examples are depicted, but I imagine there’s good reason for that. ^_^ Love it. Glad I picked it up for my inspiration and reference.
Amazon Customer –
古代ローマから第二次世界大戦前までの服装が、モノクロのペン画で所狭しと描かれています。カラーとは違い、ディーテールよりが分かるのが特徴です。様々な人の手によって描かれているので、ペン画の表現技法を学びたい方にも是非オススメです。それぞれのカットに番号が振られており、最後のNOTESと照らし合わせて、どれが何の図か分かるようになっています。

Fashion details of bygone times all illustrated in monochrome, I am interested in fashion and history, I would like to create a miniature costume from the past
Victoria –
this was a little disappointing. the pictures were all copies of painting or statues and muddled up on a page. it didn’t seem to be in chronological order and in places was inaccurate. The drawing were vague and not very detailed. I only wanted a book to help me describe costume from different ages in the past, but it wasn’t as helpful as the john Peacock book.
Patti –
Excellent publication, very educational. Given as a present to a child in Spain.
Dr JRJ –
I found this book a little disappointing in that many of the illustrations were unclear and it was hard to see the details I was interested in. Many were drawings of statues. I had hoped for a book with clear illustrations which would be easy to translate into the miniature costumes I hope to produce, but that is not what this book had ot offer.

Bought this book to help with an art project (GCSE), Both my daughter and her teacher were impressed with the quality of the illustrations, which inspired a host of ideas for costume design
Sparkles McGilicutty –
While the pictures are 2D sketches of actual paintings, sculptures, fashion plates, etc. and are not the best quality, I love this book for a quick reference. If I’m costume designing from a certain time period, I love using this book to glance through for ideas saying, I like those sleeves, or I’ll use that cuff. If you’re looking for a in depth look at fashion and details and lots of commentary, it’s not the book for you. But if you’re looking for a great priced reference of fashion through the ages, then it’s perfect. I’ve had many professors for my costume design classes, historical fashion classes, etc who have required this as a text book.
Amazon Customer –
Great illustrations but most of the focus is on post-1900 fashions. I was hoping for more focus on pre-1900.
Maria Moulton –
Fantastic. I bought this for me my 6 year old who has a real interest in historical fashion and it ended up reigniting my own passion in the subject.
Miki –
the illustrations are not very good, and the writing is minimum but the information is still very interesting to me.
