Críticas:

A terrific resource. . . . An affordable classic. * Dramatics * One of the best surveys of costume in the Western world we've seen. What makes this book so valuable is the detail in the more than 800 sketches and the attention given not only to the outerwear but to underwear, hats, footwear, hair styles, accessories, jewelry, fabrics, and colors worn by men, women, and children. This...could easily become the design bible of any costume shop. * Stage Director * This detailed fashion survey contains a wealth of information...I look forward to using this valuable and much needed updating. * Midwest Book Review *

Reseña del editor:

Here is an updated edition of Joan Nunn's detailed survey of costume in the Western world over the past eight centuries. She not only gives the reader a vivid visual impression of the clothes themselves, but also outlines the historical and social background and the changes in manufacturing techniques and fashionable life that have influenced the way costume has developed and the manner in which it has been worn. The book is illustrated throughout with hundreds of line drawings.
