This review is from: Everyday Fashions, 1909-1920, As Pictured in Sears Catalogs (Paperback)
I am totally hooked on this series and hope Dover continues it for 1899-1909 and the '50s and '60s, as well. Note in this volume that the brilliant folk at J. Peterman have copied some of the c1913 skirts in their mail order catalog (I now own two, and they're gorgeous). Thank you, Dover, and thank you, J. Peterman!

excellent resource, lovely photos, neat descriptions,
By Hedera Femme - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Everyday Fashions, 1909-1920, As Pictured in Sears Catalogs (Paperback)
This book provides a comprehensive series of illustrations that immerse you in the world of fashion from this era. It is authentic and beautifully laid out, and depicts numerous costume items from the early 20th century, though mostly focusing on women. The pictures depict everything from dresses to shoes, hats to gloves; the women's hairstyles, makeup, undergarments, and overall looks give the reader the most authentic possible view of fashion and the aesthetic ideals of the time. The catalogue also shows the prices and features descriptions that include fabric and color. There are some pictures of men's and children's fashions. This book is thorough and unbelievably beautiful. The whole series of Sears catalogue fashions by decade is amazing. I recommend them all!

The Best Way To Study A Time Period Is Through Examples Of Its Everyday Life,
By Notnadia - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Everyday Fashions, 1909-1920, As Pictured in Sears Catalogs (Paperback)
Thru illustrations created for the Sears Catalogs of the early twentieth century, clothing--functional, extravagant, glamorous, practical--is reproduced for visual inspection. Great for research, for curiosity seekers who wish to know what our foremothers wore, or in the case in which I used it, this is a perfect reference book to give to a dressmaker to let her see an example of an outfit you'd like to have made. An great book!
