[Powder River Rose · Rating 4 out of 5]

Excellent source for my historical sewing needs. The pictures are beautifully rendered and with some manipulation are able to be reproduced. This is one of my go-to books when creating a new gown and truly are re-read every year.

Very nice pictures of wonderful fashions of the Victorian era. My only complaint is there were no men's fashions.
