4.0 out of 5 stars A great book 4 anyone who needs a costume, 19 Mar 1999
By A Customer
This book is cool for anybody who's interested in clothes from a long time ago. There's stuff on ancient people in Greece and Egypt plus all over Europe and in America too. Minus one star cuz there's nothing on East Asia, or anything past 1925. It includes close-ups on SHOES! and headgear plus other accesories and even hairstyles. Most of the pics are from fashion plates or real-life photos and paintings, redone in b&w line drawings. If U need a cool, realistic, and unique costume, check out this book. There's lots of ideas for anybody who doesn't want to be a witch or a power ranger for halloween. They have some famous people, like Queen Elizabeth and Lord Chesterfield (whoever he was) and everything is labeled by time period, class, and nationality. If you can find a pattern for some of these dresses and jackets, make yourself some beautiful and fancy clothes that you'll probably never wear (but will look awesome hangin' in your closet!)
