Mimi S. –
Okay, WOW. This is a good book.
Not only does it come with dresses and such, it also shows how to draw things such as lace, roses, bows and ruffles!
it showcases some closeups of different kinds of accessories, shoes, undergarments (corsets, petticoats, etc) and different types of hairstyles popular from each period of time!
They also display some examples of character design inspired from these periods and their outfits!!
It includes some stuff from the 1920s too; such as the ever glamorous Flappers from that era.
Seriously!!! it’s a really good book!!!!
There isn’t a lot of text, either, but I’m sure if i could understand it; it’d be very useful.
