Format:Paperback
If you are into 17th and 18th century costume then this is the book for you. It shows you in very good detail how cuffs, collars, pockets, button stands, seam detail, pin tucks etc of this period were done at the time. The photos are all excellent quality close ups and there are full garnment flats for each one as well. I am a degree fashion student and love to design from this period. Now I have a much better understanding of how to make my designs into actual garnments. I think its a great book.

Format:Paperback
219 pages of colour pictures spanning 17th and 18th centuries, sections include seams and stitching techniques,collars and cuffs, quilting, stomachers, gloves and shoes. The notation is precise and useful. I think that costume makers will find it useful for construction, however it would have been five stars if an overall photograph of the costume was included.

Being a re-enactor finding source material is quite hard. Seventeenth and eighteenth Century Fashion in Detail is a superb resource for any costume maker to have. The photographs are very clear and colourful and the book has been an inspiration to us as we research our costumes, I unreservedly recommend it to fellow re-enactors.

RED ALERT!!! This book is a beautiful book, with wonderful pictures, but it is a re-issue of the book Historical Fashion in Detail The 17th and 18th Centuries by the same authors. Read more

Love it!
Only V&A can manage such an amazing quality and detail in photography. I just wish I could touch it all! Amazing book, great inspiration.

Fab pictures but a little frustrating.
Whilst this book has amazing close up pictures unlike many other books, I found it frustrating that a whole picture of the costume wasn't also shown, especially as there was plenty... Read more

Beautiful
For those with an eye for detail and an historic bent, this stunning book allows you to get closer to 17th and 18th century clothing than you would ever be allowed in a museum. Read more
