Format:Paperback
The Victoria and Albert Museum houses one of the largest costume collections in Europe, stretching from 1603 to the present day, and now you have a chance to see virtually all of the items in their collection (bar their very fragile ones) without the need to travel to London.
Each chapter has clear points of the history of dress, and is divided into easy chapters covering men, women, periods in history with individual photographs of each article of dress including shoes, fans, underwear etc. All the photos are very clear, enabling the reader to get a detailed view of the costume.
Costume researcher or fashion student, this book is an important part of your collection that will be refered to again and again. My original copy is so worn out that I am ordering a new one to cope with the high demand!

I'm quite disappointed by the pictures, yes, there are good quality BUT most of them are small and black&white.

Really great book. I haven't read everything yet, but pictures are wonderful, and the content is interesting for everyone willing to know more about the history of costume and fashion.
Now I just need to visit this Victoria and Albert Museum!
