This version of the clothes-book has the virtue of being in English, and has commentary on the various outfits, along with a pattern and reconstruction of one of the more flamboyant outfits. In terms of costs, the reconstruction is on a par with modern haute-couture! Admittedly, the reconstruction was using authentic materials (or as close as can be got with modern fabrics).
My quibble is with the layout; preserving the original layout and putting the commentary in a separate section with a thumbnail image made the book somewhat hard to read. For readability, having the image immediately followed by the commentary would have made far more sense. It would also have been nice to have included the pictorial references; not necessarily the full picture, a detail would have sufficed. Not everyone has access to the more obscure galleries. However, I suspect doing that would have made the cost and size of the book prohibitive; even for a paperback it’s unwieldy and heavy.
Recommended as a reference for historical clothing.… (más)
