4.0 out of 5 stars Great costume resource
I always turn to John Peacock books when I want an overview of a decade for a costuming project. This one was a lot of help, as usual, for a general reference for a project set in 1934.

2.0 out of 5 stars This book only features rough sketches...
Look closely at the cover of this book. It is filled only with such rough sketches of the day, evening, and sports wear from this decade. This is not a detailed, pattern-oriented fashion book. Rather, it serves better as a quick reference guide for a designer looking for inspiration from classic styles.

3.0 out of 5 stars A Reasonable look at fashion., September 4, 2011

This review is from: The 1930s (Fashion Sourcebooks) (Paperback)
I was disappointed to see the artist's renderings rather than actual pictures. I must give credit, however, to the attempt to provide a complete look at all types of fashions involved in this period. It is an "OK" book.
