Teen Designer
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
I have been the costume designer for many of my school's plays, which have ranged from Medieval times to the 1970s to the 1840s in the deep south. And for every single project I have consulted this book. It may not have writing throughout all of it, but I have found that this helps none when you know nothing about the time period. The best thing is to just see how it was all put together. And this book does that wonderfully. I know that when I go off to college, this book will be going with me.
Very helpful resource for the SCA

This isn't the "all inclusive" book but it does present nice pictures with short essay explainations. I was very tired of reading 5 pages of information to try and visualize what the costume looked like. This book along with a more detailed description was the best tools for my research.
Absolutely inspirational!

This book has enabled me to combine various elements from familiar patterns I had on hand to create designs that look absolutely authentic, without spending another dime!
