A book on fashion - starting from late 1880 with Vintage dresses and moving forward in time. Each dress contains information on the date, season, style, material of the dress, and a description. The opposite page allows the reader to take the dress and re-create it. After 1960, there's a section on contemporary dresses along with a section of coats, nightgowns, and slips. The final section is dedicated to shoe and hats.The Good: I really enjoyed looking at this book. I loved the history of the clothes and seeing the various styles. I thought the idea of creating your own style for the dresses was unique. A fun book for anyone who likes fashion, especially vintage fashion. I tagged several pages to try my hand at a few of them.
The Bad: I only wish there was a section on evening bags and purses too. I'd like to see how they changed over time.
Overall: A fantastically fun book for fashion lovers.
Library Idea: Copy of few of the dresses and ask your teens to create their own style of these famous pieces.
