Russell’s Standard Fashions 1915-1919

Rating:
Summary: A great resource!
Review: This is one of the books I reach for time and time again. The fashions are stylish but not out of the realm of possibility for the average woman of the time. I also love the narrow, four year time frame--the book really gives you a great overview of the move away from the fussier victorian styles to the more streamlined precusors of the 1920s tunics. I've gotten a lot of ideas for sewing out of this book and the illustrations are charming. Five stars overall!
