This review is from: Art in Dress (Paperback)

This book has so much in it that I love - 1920s fashion, illustrations and patterns! R L Shep's publications are always fabulous but this one is everything for anyone with interest in fashion of this "naughty" era.

There are quite a lot of patterns available for clothes in the late Victorian or Edwardian era but very little for the 20s - this is it! The patterns are quite technical and involve a drafting method unique to Clement Brown (I think) but I was able to work it out pretty quickly and, if you have patternmaking experience, it would be no problem. The patterns are not for beginners though. A heavenly book!
