Rating: - essential resourceThis book is an essential resource for anyone wanting to reproduce historical clothing - use it to train your perception, use it as a dictionary of style names, use it as a quick, well organized reference. I love it and make my studio help and design interns study it. Rating: - NICE JOB!!!!!!Finally a book that has everything I needed about fabrics.... lots of history and images to die for!!!! NICE WORK!!!! For its price, I would never of thought its contents was going to be so valuable!!!! I would buy this book OVER AND OVER AGAIN!! Rating: - It's Awsome!I've already known this book, because of this I've bought it! It's really great ideia to have one if you are a Fashion and Patern Design! Rating: - Source BookThis book is a fabulous resource for artists and designers. Unlike many textile books, it is not arranged by cloth, but by the patterns on the cloth. Every time I open this book, I find something new. There isn't much text, which is fine by me, just plenty of eye candy.
