This review is from: Evening Dresses, 1900-1940 (Twenieth Century Histories of Fashion) (Hardcover)

19th Century background sets the stage for the first four decade of 20th century development of style. La Belle Epoque, the languid tango, the impetuous Charleston, right through the fabulous thirties, the important stylists of Haute Couture from Worth to Poiret from Lanvin to Schiaparelli are represented up to 1940 when wartime put a punctuation on the evolutions of elegant styles. This volume is extensively illustrated with many unusual and unique period engravings, photographs and advertisements. Valuable illustrations.
