Wonderful resource for anyone studying fashion of this era, even if you are not looking to recreate the clothing. ( ) This review is for the extended and revised edition of Patterns of Fashion 2.

Also there are colour fotographs of these garments, explanations of stitches used, pictures of contemporary persons in similar garments, fotographs of insides and linings in garments.
