what they wore at Williamsburg,
By
This review is from: Eighteenth-Century Clothing at Williamsburg (Williamsburg Decorative Arts Series) (Paperback)
This is a carefully researched, beautifully photographed monograph on everyday clothing and high style fashions worn by early Americans during this important century in our history. A valuable resource for costume designers, writers, re-enactors, and historians, it also provides documentation and suggestions for further study.

A Nice Companion Piece,

This review is from: Eighteenth-Century Clothing at Williamsburg (Williamsburg Decorative Arts Series) (Paperback)
I bought this with Costume Close-up by Baumgarten, and while it has pretty pictures and some interesting information, the brochure (and it really is just a bigger, prettier, brochure for the Williamsburg collection) just isn't as thick and full of the structural goodness that I appreciate in my costume literature. Worth getting, of course, but not one of those books I will end up relying on again, and again, like others I could mention (but will refrain from doing so in the interests of brevity).
