3.0 out of 5 stars good for its purpose, February 6, 2007

Chelsea Curtin (Santa Cruz,CA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Understanding Fashion History (Paperback)

I am taking a fashion history class, so the book serves its purpose well, it is not, however, very well written or engaging if you are looking forsomething interesting to read. most of it talks about people who have documented fashion history and not about the garments or textiles.
