## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Ok, simple clothes, larger sizes
  

*by M***E on Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2019*

I have most of the books in this series by Crowood Press.  I rarely make"working women's" historical styles, but thought it would be useful to have a book on it, since most books concentrate on high fashion styles.  The 2 good things about this book are that the patterns go up to a size 22 (larger than their other books) & the styles are mostly simple geometric shapes (rectangles, triangles, squares).  Despite the simple shapes, it is more confusing to use than the other books in their series because there are less construction photos & the picture of the finished garment is a the end of the instructions rather than the beginning.  I still think this is a useful book, but it's not a "stand-alone" costuming resource for it's subject.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    needs more photos
  

*by J***V on Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2019*

The book seems full of historical information and construction details, but for the most part there are no photos or illustrations of the finished projects.  They show the artwork which serves as the inspiration for the patterns, but only a few show the actual garment to be constructed.  For me, I need to see the finished product in order to understand how the garment goes together, the book may work better for a more advanced sewer.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Great Historic Clothing Analysis
  

*by B***M on Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2020*

How everyday women's clothing evolved, and in the contexts of history and types of employment. Interesting and informative for several audiences.  Well researched, quite scholarly, but presented simply. The appendix regarding fabric sellers for today is a useful surprise.
