Costume in detail

by Nancy Bradfield

The author, a leading authority on her subject, has prepared a book which will be an invaluable source of information to those concerned with fashion, period dress, and the theatre. Years of research into dress, accessories and underwear in Private Collections have culminated in this fine set of highly skilled, well-documented drawings and detailed studies, showing not only the outside of the garment but inside construction as well. The focus is on women's clothes. More than 360-full page drawings along with a scholarly and informative text. 12 pages of color photographs.
