Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2000

First: the author is really serious about accuracy in reproducing textiles from historical dress, and this isn't something to pick up prior to whipping up a colonial-era dress for Halloween. Second: textile swatches are generous and encourage touchy-feely types to compare to modern textiles. Author has been working on this for a while, and has finally produced a reference guide to Georgian (aka Colonial) era fabrics, mostly those related to better women's wear but also a few worn by servants (I finally figured out what drougget is - that was really bugging me) and each swatch is on its own page, with technical information relating to that fiber type and its historical production and use, plus many have anecdotes and quotes to help create a real setting in which the textile existed. For any costumers passionate about historical recreation, or for museum curators or textile professionals, this will be the defining reference for the era. Principally refers to English and colonial American dress, which differs markedly from the rest of Europe. The author caught me fondling the sample book on display in the dealer's marketplace at the recent Costume College, and had I had the funds with me I would have bought a copy then and there, despite the fact that I am not a historical specialist. I'd recommend this book without reservation for anyone needing factual information about dress during the 1700's, from shifts to ballgowns.

5 STARS for Sally's book! Too bad it's so expensive now...

Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2012

This book is uber expensive to purchase now. I was lucky enough to purchase it from the author herself- 5+ years ago & wrote a review here on Amazon regarding it. A wonderful reference- even years later. I was shocked at the price of this book now- it maks it difficult for people wanting to participate in making accurate historical clothing to wear.

There is another book out that is terrific- Swatches- A Guide to Choosing 21st Century Fabrics for for 18th century clothing by Hallie Larkin. ([...]) it's 31 pages with 6 swatches per page every other page. It is similarly bound like Sally's book. You can purchase it directly from the author, so you know it's authentic. I purchased it in late 2009/early 2010 from Ms. Larkin after reading about it on her blog "At the Sign of the Golden Scrissors". It was approx. $34.95 as I recall.

I hope this helps... anyone not able to spend $200.00+ on Sally's book

Terrific Resource

Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2005

Sally's book is wonderful resource. The swatches of fabric are terrific to use for reference in purchasing period correct fabric. The information that accompany's each swatch is priceless to anyone that is interested in 18th century costume design. This book is also a perfect "follow-up", after attending any of Sally's seminars.

A Must have for reenactors!

Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2005

This book was a score! The fabric swatches are wonderful and Sally Queen has listed along with each type of fabric what its' uses were in the 18th century.
