  • This Is The Only Vintage Clothing Book You Need

    I wear vintage clothes and accessories and this book is the best overview of the subject that I read in 20 years. This book covers an overview of the styles of 20th century fashion---fabric,material,workmanship---where to shop,price ranges---caring for and storing your clothes and accessories---even how to style and rework the clothes!!! Book has a cloth cover-glossy pages-beautiful photos of the subject matter in around 200 pages and best of all the book fits into a medium size handbag!!!

  • for the price its pretty good

    It was an OK book. Did give some labels and some ways to date stuff. Nothing specific though. Would love a book devoted to all the labels.
