A Dictionary of Costume and Fashion : Historic and Modern

Rating:
Summary: Excellent Reference
Review: The previous reviewer, Michelle Willingham, does not seem familiar with the use of a dictionary. It is not intended to be read, but consulted when information is needed.

This is an excellent reference work, a classic in its field.

Rating:
Summary: A good Book for Costume buffs
Review: This book has a very vast colection of terms and types of dress throughout history. It reads like a regular dictionary, but consists souly of clothing terms. This would be a good book for those who plan to study costume and dress through history, but not a good book for those with just a casual interest.
