This book is great, not only for the detail of the dresses and costumes, but for the variety of outfits portrayed. I was expecting a lot of dresses, like you would see in Colonial Williamsburg, perhaps. Dress in the English style. But there are quite a few pictures of other colonial dress. There is a Scottish couple, Dutch fashions, and a drawing of Swiss immigrants. Very educational, as we tend to think only of English colonists during this time period.

This is an excellent panorama of costumes representing Colonial and Early American Fashions, including nobility, servant, officer, pirate and more. The detail is beautiful, and careful research is obvious here. Tom Tierney can do no wrong!

For classroom use, homeschoolers, or adults fascinated with the everyday details of people's lives throughout history, I strongly recommend this book. Beautiful!

It is a great book. I have many other books my this author and we all love them! Its a great buy!

Bought this with a Williamsburg trip in process. It helped with the homeschooled grandchildren's daily projects while on vacation and made the trip more memorable.

I was having trouble locating coloring books from the early years so went to the computer....and wow....got too many to chose so bought one of most of them.
I have a granddaughter that is artistic and also into fashion so she loved the book (Have only given her one, saving some for Christmas).
Hope to order more when I have time.
