EXQUISITE!,
By Floradora "littlegloria" (Tasmania Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Modern Fashion in Detail (Paperback)
This book is truly gorgeous with its fantastic close up photographs of details of 20th century garments. There are chapters devoted to bows, to buttons, sleeves and so on. This book actually came before Avril Hart's "Fashion in detail - 17th & 18th Century Clothes" and together they will keep you occupied for many hours. I only wish there were more volumes. Sheer heaven!

This review is from: Modern Fashion in Detail (Paperback)
Be sure to notice the small print under the main title "in Detail". This seems to be a book for a seamstress. It is all close up details, no full length pix at all, which is good if that is what you want. I wasn't thorough enough when I ordered this, and expected a book called "Modern Fashion" to be something different. So, just be sure this is what you are looking for. I would return it, or give it to a friend who sews or likes these details.
