5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent guide for research and study!!!, 3 Nov 1998
By A Customer
This is an excellent book! I have read it over and over! The color photos are fantastic. The author gives a clear, easy to understand overview in each chapter. The value guide seems to be accurate. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is studying vintage clothing!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent photos. A must for any Victorian lover, 8 Oct 1998
By A Customer
I love to recreate Victorian clothing. I have never come across a book with such clear photographs of clothing, undergarments, and hats. I also try to intergrate Victorian fashion into todays fashions and this book is an excellent guide.

5.0 out of 5 stars A good costume history reference book., 12 Jun 1998
By A Customer
Diane Snyder-Haug's _Antique & Vintage Clothing..._ is chock-full of nicely sized, glossy color photos & is sensibly organized. The two-page section "How To Use This Book" contains valuable hints on assigning dates to pieces. Each chapter relates to a specific era in fashion & begins with a list of common characteristics, followed by general information, the bodice, the skirt, evening dress, outerwear, general price valuation & sections dealing with fads specific to the period, including undergarments. There are great photos of garment interiors & details of trimmings. Where available there are also charming contemporary photographs, showing both men & women in some cases. There are also chapters on "Dress For Weddings, Funerals & Sports," "Hats & Bonnets," "Parasols," & "Care & Restoration." My only regret is that specific designers are not discussed (although Coco Chanel gets some credits for her innovations); but to include them might have doubled the size of the book. All in all a good resource.
