4.0 out of 5 starsVictorian Fashion in America--264 Vintage Photos from the 19th Century
By S. D. Fama on June 25, 2012
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Victorian Fashion in America is a compilation of 264 photographs from the Victorian Age which I purchased on Amazon.

It is amazing that women, especially, took such care and time in their elaborate clothing during the nineteenth century. It is even more amazing that they actually did things like ride bicycles and play tennis.

I often wonder how shocked these beautifully dressed women would be to see the scant clothing that modern women wear today. One thing is for sure, it takes less time today to get dressed!

4.0 out of 5 starsFantastic photos!
By SD Costumer on June 26, 2006
Format: Paperback
Costume resources from this period tend towards drawings from period magazines, and use highly stylized model forms. This great collection of pictures shows a wide range of people, in a fairly wide range of clothing types. The limitations of period phots are that the clothing is almost always the fanciest outfits the person owns, and does not reflect day to day wear. Other photos are clearly theatrical costume, but the author has clearly identified them as such, even where the oroginal information is missing.

As with any black and white source, colors are left to your imagination, but the details of finsh and construction that can be gleaned from the photos makes this a necessary tool in researching clothing of this era. Teamed with a Harper's Bazaar drawing reference, and an accessory reference, and you are ready to start making your own victorian clothing!

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat Book for Lovers of Victorian Fashion
By J. Lewis on May 7, 2013
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
As a writer of Victorian historical fiction, this book is an invaluable resource; however, it is also a wonderful history of the fashion of the times and well worth the read. Well worth owning for anyone who wants to know how others lived and dressed.

3.0 out of 5 starsA bit disappointed
By Auntie Andrea on November 28, 2006
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
This book is chock full of photos and information...I was a bit disappointed in the quality of the images though. I understand that the original photos are old, but I think the print quality in the reproduction on the publishing end might have been better. Fine if info only is what you are looking for, but if you are making copies to include in a project...don't expect too much.
