This book and CD is another in the line of great royalty free works of images. This time, it's fashions from the great designers of women's wear 1950-2000, ranging from everyday wear to evening gowns.

These Dover book/CD ROMs are a graphic designers delight. It's so hard to find good quality graphics that are royalty free, and not end up spending a fortune. Dover has a good selection of royal free images that are presented in a book and are on CD ROM.

The images in the CD ROM is in full colour and so dazzling. 140 large images in TIFF format. Sharp images ready to use. Great for Paint Shop PRO. You don't have to scan, the images are there. You don't have to install some program. Just open them from you CR Rom Drive.

Great resources for writers looking for 50's, 60's and 70's fashions.

This book has great illustrations of designer fashion for the era's between 1950-2000 the images are smaller than I thought they would be about 6 on a page in average, but still show what the designs looked like etc. Only had a few pages of written information included at the start of the book. CD-ROM has the same images as the book easy to use images in assignments or research.
Great book for secondary and tertiary level student, that are just wanting illustrations to use in their work.
Overall good book, but it would have been nice to get more written information included in this book and some larger illustration!

I have always been a huge fan of Tom Tierneys ever since being given some of his paper dolls for Christmas one year and needless to say, it inspired me to pursue a career in fashion illustration. He can make satin look like satin, lace look like lace and furs look like fur. Its really impressive in doll form and even better in these great included cds!!! A must have for anyone who is a fan of the history of costume and design. I really wish he had one with even more modern fashions!
