Written by a leading authority in her field, Costume in Detail 1730 - 1930 will be an invaluable source of information to those concerned with fashion, with period dress, with history, and with theater, film, or television. Many years of research into dresses, accessories and underwear in private collections have culminated this remarkably fine set of highly skilled, well-documented drawings and detailed studies, which show not only the outside construction of the garment from various views, but the inside as well. Only a mere handful of dresses or accessories featured in this book have been seen by the general public; some of them are too frail to ever be out on view. Now, in these detailed drawings, their delicate charm is preserved so the dress can be studied from every aspect.
