Book Reviews of Historic Costumes and How to Make Them (Dover Fashion and Costumes)
Book Review: Lots of Patterns inside
Summary: 5 Stars
I was pleased with the number of patterns and detailed instructions in this book. The patterns need to be enlarged or drawn to scale in order to use them. It would be very useful for anyone who makes costumes or who is interested in fashion.
