Absolutely fantastic. The Visual Dictionary of Fashion Design provides history, explanations, and images of a litany of different types of clothing, garment fixtures, and accessories. The book is fascinating, interesting, insightful, well-organized, succinct, and visually appealing. I really don't want to return it to the library. It's too wonderful.
