DESCRIPTION:
Great book full of amazing examples of 1920's clothing Great book full of amazing examples of 1920's clothing. I especially liked the close up photos of the beading and embroidery. Wish it would have had examples of men's clothing as well. Breathtaking! As a jazz age fashion aficionado and collector of fashion books I had high hopes and expectations that this volume far exceeded.The book includes beautiful full length and detail photographs of dresses, jackets, capes, shoes, hats and underwear of the period. The photos show the transparency of transparent garments and the exquisite handwork detail of sequin, embroidery a. And all that jazz Martha Jones This book had lots of photography but little description of what was shown. I would have liked more text and information about the fashion period. This book does feature lots of up close photos so that detail in fabric design and decoration can be seen. Sequin design and application is widely shown.
