A book for use in real life,
By A Customer
This review is from: After a Fashion: How to Reproduce, Restore and Wear Vintage Styles (Paperback)
I'm a swing dancer and I love this book because it tells how to deal with vintage clothes you actually WEAR! Some books seem to think everybody who buys vintage clothes is some kind of museum. Or that they're rich and only buy perfect clothes in fancy boutiques. This book gives instructions for real-life cleaning, mending, and altering to fit you (for men's clothes too). And how to work with vintage patterns to make your own repros. This book ROCKS!

Nice costume book,

This review is from: After a Fashion: How to Reproduce, Restore and Wear Vintage Styles (Paperback)
I thought this was a useful book on costuming. There are lots of illistrations and detailed info, such as what style of lace, or what patterns were popular/available during the periods. Good buy, very helpful!

Most Practical and Resourceful,
This review is from: After a Fashion: How to Reproduce, Restore and Wear Vintage Styles (Paperback)
Best book I've found. Descriptions and illustrations for each historical period, as well as outfit planning, authentic fabrics, sewing and patternmaking tips, mending, restoring, and resources from A to Z -- books, websites, catalogs, periodicals... My #1 pick.
