This book is really fun. There are pictures of men and women from various countries and different social and economic backgrounds, and a good amount of detail in each drawing. If you were attempting to reconstruct the costume of a 14th century French baker's wife, for example, you could get many good ideas here! I can't stress enough what a good resource this book would be: the pictures are large and detailed, the captions clearly identify the time,place, and economic status of the persons being depicted. Just a wonderful, gorgeous book!

I have bought this book twice. I love the drawings. Coloring the costumes inspires creativity and fantasy. And I appreciate the abundance of factual information about clothing in medieval times.

Definitely my favorite coloring book. When I'm finished with this one, I'll buy it again.

I just purchased these Dover COloring Books for my mother and she loves them. The detail is out of this world and the variety of colors you can use are only limited by your inagination. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

This coloring book has some terrific pictures of medieval fashions. SCA and Faire Folk can get some great ideas for garb here. There's no documentation for the clothing, but it's still fun to color!

I picked this one up at a local store (sorry amazon) as a gift to a little girl in the medieval group I belong to, and while flippig through at the checkout line, I relized I needed a copy for myself. I only wish that the documentation refrenced some sorses. Paintings or brass rubbings would be cool.
But still a really neat book.

I love this book as well as most Dover coloring books. This is one that I've owned for a while. I've never colored it becuase I love the line drawings so much, I'm afraid I'll ruin them! It's a great resource for people interested in historic fashion. It has lots of details. I'm sure it would be great fun to color too! I might actually try it some day! I'm not sure if this would be most children's favorite coloring book. It would take a lot of patience to color in the details, but being a medieval theme, I bet little ones who like knights or princesses would appreciate it.

i LOVE this coloring book! it's not only informative and historical it is well drawn and the pictures are just fun to color.

zzzzzzzzz, Oh? It's not paper dolls? Sorry, some of my sarcasm leaked out. Very nice item you will enjoy for hours.
