Bad photo styling discredits decent book
While the information in this book is fairly reliable and thorough, the photography leaves much to be desired. The models are not appropriate to the styles -- we're seeing 80s girls wearing 50s clothes that occasionally don't look like they fit well.

This review is from: Vintage Fashions for Women: The 1950s & 60s (Paperback)
ugh! if you can get past looking at all these cheesy snapshots of people you've never met, i give you a lot of credit. the worst part is the fact that one girl *constantly* has her long hair draped over the front of the dresses she wears. you couldn't see the detail! what's the point? the dated typography was no less than annoying and the layout completely lacked balance. i couldn't get my money back fast enough.
