Beautiful Books, Wonderful Pictures, Great Information

I work in a library where volume 1 of this book had been requested numerous times, so I got to see it close-up several times before eventually deciding that I needed to own it. When I ordered it, it wasn't yet clear in the listing that it was 2 volumes, and I thought that I was getting volume 1 only--in paperback--and I still thought the price was great considering how many wonderful photographs the book contains. Imagine my surprise when I got two hefty hardback tomes!

I ordered these books to assist in writing historical novels, wanting to inject a bit of verisimilitude in regards to the clothing involved, and it's been a great resource. The brief essays at the beginning of each book are rich with detail about things like what corsets and dresses were called, how the clothes were worn, changing fashion trends, etc.

I liked this so well that I've given copies to several friends.

What a great bargain

When I finally found this book (after months of anxious waiting!) at Amazon I couldn't believe it could cost that price. It's a marvelous book, hard-covered and with a case box, with uncountable luxurious photos and lots of information on the fashion of the last three hundred years.

A book no one interested in the costumes of past times can miss.

This purchase was a gift

This purchase was a gift for my future daughter-in-law who is completing her Master's degree in costume design. The book was on a list of volumes she wished to have for her personal library and to use for research. She was very excited to recieve this book.

A pleasant journey through Fashion History for a great price!!!!,

I am in the process of building my own Fashion Design Library with books that covers differents aspects of this fascinating world (drawing, patternmaking, draping, sociological, business and so forth) including Fashion History. I knew about fashion books published by Taschen during a Fashion Design Course I took last Summer in Italy. Previously I got Fashion Now (Icons) from Taschen and this one has an even better price-quality relationship: fancy presentation, high quality of the pictures and brief explanations about each century covered by the 2 volumes and most of the pieces presented. You can really spend hours!!! enjoying all the finishing details of the clothes.
