This calendar gives an exceptional opportunity to enjoy images of our foremothers and their children as well as the clothing they wore. It also brings to light the value of local, small museum and costume collections. Get one for yourself, and one for your Mother!

What a great opportunity to share a love of fashion that is reflected in clothing from both women and children. This calendar presents monthly photographs featuring collections from both museums and universities encompassing a world of beauty and information with comments and information from each of these collections. Share it with a friend!

Second in a series, 1999's calendar offers professional and polished images of historic dress for both women and children. Beautifully presented, it is full of wonderful photographs of clothing in collections of both museums and universities. For all those who love clothes, this is a real treat, and a great way to mark off the passage of the coming year.

The calendar is wonderful. I love the clothes and great photos. Makes me want to visit the museums and learn more about historic fashion. It is great to be able to see how clothes have evolved throughout time

A wide range of vintage clothing is shown in this truly beautiful calendar. Besides the large feature photograph for each month there are many smaller, yet equally well-done, photographic images. The history of women and children takes on a new reality when one sees these clothes that were the cultural 'second skin' of their lives.

This calendar provides a great overview of women's and children's fashions. The pictures are gorgeous, and the text is very informative. This would be a welcome gift for anyone who is interested in the history of costume.

This beautiful calendar features twelve different collections which have historic costume from around the world. One of the best features of this calendar is that there is a balance between costume of ethnographic groups and that of industrialized cultures. Each curator provided a brief synopsis of their collection, as well as complete information as to how to contact the curator for more information. Not only is this a very beautiful and professionally well done calendar, but it provides for scholarly contacts as well. Five Stars!
