Items illustrated cover everything from daywear, to formal eveningwear, to accessories and underthings for both sexes. Very handy for the casual costumer who is seeking specific information about the 'look' of a period. I can't read my handwriting on this one, but it should be in the area of GT596. This is a companion book to 20th Century Fashion by the same author, and is presented in precisely the same style. Lavish, detailed illustrations are augmented by simpler line drawings, accompanied by a careful written description.
Clothing is sorted by trends of about a decade or so, each, with some overlap.
Illustrations include formal, day and sports wear, as well as underclothes and accessories. A great resource for 20th Century men's costuming. There is a lot of text, with particular attention to fabrics and influence behind trends. Most illustrations are taken from period sources. This book is very much like an expanded version of the volume described above.
