3.0 out of 5 stars
Good,
By Kristin (CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Empire Fashions (Dover Fashion Coloring Book) (Paperback)
I own four of Tierney's coloring books. The Empire Fashions book is well drawn in terms of the clothing, but the people's proportions, especially the women, seem a bit off. I like the addition of pages of hairstyles and accessories, and the two page spread with the drawing of Napoleon crowning Josephine is good as it gives historical perspective to the book.

Detailed illustrations,
This review is from: Empire Fashions (Dover Fashion Coloring Book) (Paperback)
I guess this is one of the best Tom Tierney's fashion history coloring books. Drawings are really well done and details are clear. Unlike some other Tierney's illustrations, these don't make an impression that they were drawn too quickly.
Pages are thick enough for gentle watercoloring. The book contains 45 fashion illustrations from 1789 to 1815, including military dresses, Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte and Empress Josephine, 4 outfits for children, special 4-page section of hairstyles, hats and fashion accessories, and much more. Buy it and enjoy!

Entertaining and Educational,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Empire Fashions (Dover Fashion Coloring Book) (Paperback)
This is my second Tom Tierney book. There are dates and an informative write-up under each drawing and he includes the colors of their day. I bought two and in one book I use my own felt pen color choices and in the other book I use the colors of his choosing. The paper is marvelous. It's thick enough so it doesn't bleed on through to the next page. I highly recommend it.
