I am very happy with this book. Since I am a collector of antique clothing, I purchased this book in order to become more knowledgeable about the elements of Victorian and Edwardian clothing. I like that it is detailed and includes the information I was looking for. I do not like that the author, at times, does not include the definition for some fashion terms (i.e. engageante = an undersleeve). Overall, for the price I paid, I am happy with the book. I have learned a great deal, which is exactly why I purchased it. If you are looking for a detailed book on Victorian and Edwardian fashion, this is a great find. However if you are looking for more of a general overview, this might not be the best choice. Photos supplement information in the chapter.
Very Nice Book..Nice pictures.. Thank You

Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
This book contains wonderful pictures of real people from this beautiful era. It also contains factual information. I have not studied the facts of this era and could not verify how accurate the information in this book is. I do recommend the book to anyone studying the costuming, hairstyles, & photogenic dispositions of the people of this era.
This book is wonderful for re-enactors who are trying to recreate costumes from the Victorian Era. Pictures say a 1000 words. If you are just interested in "what people" looked like/dressed like - this is it also. I myself love this book as a reference to my sewing.
