A gathering of colorful costumes from old pattern books, to inspire those looking for ideas to copy. The custom of dressing up in a disguise of one kind or another for balls, parties, or other celebrations is not only an ancient custom, but one that has deep roots in our minds. It provides an opportunity to live our dreams, to realize our wilder aspirations. One is, when costumed, a different being. We have drawn from our large fashion collection some especially attractive costume plates. They are from books originally published in the mid-20th century. This volume is inspirational, not instructional, though most of the costumes are readily imitated.

Very good illustrations of costumes, when people actually were creative, clever and gave costumes some thought.

Not Much Information - A Lot of Inspiration,

This review is from: Masquerade: Costume Inspirations 1920s-1950s (Hardcover)
This is a nicely done book, but there isn't much in it other than pictures such as you see on the cover. I was hoping for more details, not just illustrations only.

You won't regret buying this book.
If you're interested in costumes or illustrations from the 50's, then this book will absolutely delight you! Full of lovely (and often hilarious) costume designs, from a pretty Elephant to an Atomic Bomb.. and all perfectly feminine and wearable.
