5.0 out of 5 stars
Another great reference for a decade,
This review is from: Fashionable Clothing from the Sears Catalogs: Late 1940's (Paperback)
Much like the other books in this series I was impressed. The pictures are great, many of them are in color which i find very useful. It covers everything that men, women and children were wearing during this era. There is not a lot of text, so if you're looking for a book on fashion to read, this one is certainly not what you'll want. However, if you need pictures to reference, there are tons of great examples and variations on the late 40s. (i.e. Christian Dior's 'New Look').

Fine effort from Schiffer,
By Phyllis Herring (Washington, DC USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fashionable Clothing from the Sears Catalogs: Late 1940's (Paperback)
A significant period for fashion; going from the austerities of rationing to the flamboyance of Dior's "New Look". As usual, Tina Skinner (who seems to be doing so many of these books from Schiffer) has done a good job choosing which fashions to show us and Schiffer did a good job with the color and reproduction. There are a couple of pages that seem a bit dark but considering that 60 year old Sears catalogs are not so common, they (Schiffer) might have had to take what they could get. Ah, so many of these clothes I'd love to wear for myself!
