yes yes yes :) November 22, 2007 Georgina Gibson (Australia) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
When I'm looking for visual resourced books to help inspire my costuming I would have to say this one is one of my favorites on the shelf for 18th Century clothing. br /I like to have books that have heaps of historical content to help construct my costumes but I also value the 'picture books' to help the creative/visual aspect of desgining costumes! This is one of those :)
Oh, my goodness September 7, 2007 Nina Nanakida (Vacaville, CA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Great text and pictures. I only wish there were more details of the fashion.
Disappointment July 31, 2007 L. Henderson (Boston, MA United States) 0 out of 15 found this review helpful
An overblown production that does not deliver. A waste of photography and an even bigger waste of money.
Reference to 18th century costuming July 23, 2007 Angonita S. Wallis (Australia) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I make porcelain dolls and found this book invaluable for costuming the dolls in authentic dresses.The settings for the costumes is also very inspiring br / br /Angonita Blue Ribbon Dolls
Magnificent detail February 13, 2007 Mademoiselle de Blois (Australia) 5 out of 5 found this review helpful
If you have a penchant for 18th century fashion this is the book for you. As I turned each page I was more and more enamoured with what I saw. The most delicious fabrics and designs, accompanied by authentic furniture and settings. br /You can just imagine Marie Antoinette swishing down the corridors of Versailles in one of these magnificent creations... absolutely wonderful!!
