4.0 out of 5 stars A good introduction to 18th century clothing., 25 Jul 2001

By	stay.maker@virgin.net (Norfolk, England) - See all my reviews

For the new-comer to costume history and period construction "Costume Close-up" provides an excellent introduction. A good range of garments are chosen with background historical information about the styles, fabrics and provenance. The text however is not always clear enough and I feel that the presentation is a bit gimicky, or aimed to please children. Illustrations are good, large and detailed. Certainly a good book to have on your bookshelf and a valuable source for re-enactors, or amateur costume makers.
