    Beautiful retrospective of era
  

*by P***L on Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2024*

Book is largely prints from fashion catalogs of the era, with photos of the design worn. Lacks patterns and scale, only drawback if you are seeking to reproduce exact fashion.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Definitive indeed
  

*by J***J on Reviewed in the United States on August 31, 2013*

This is well titled, as the illustrations are indeed definititive. I particularly like the fact that the captions of the illustrations give the year, so the evolution of styles can be followed. The 1930s were demonstrative of a huge range of human activities, and whenever there is strife or uncertainty, the waistline returns to its normal place. Gone are the straight silhouettes of the 1920s and the streamlined look of Art Deco in architecture and design is reflected in the cuts and interesting seaming of the garments. Everything is elegant, that's what I admire about these clothes, Accessories were carefully matched, in great contrast to now, when the stylists pooh pooh matching accessories. In that context, it was a whole lot  easier to look chic in the 1930s. Artificial silk, as rayon was called, and synthetics like nylon were just beginniing to be used, but the majority of descriptions denote natural fibers and real furs. It's important to look at a book like this from an historical perspective, because environmental concerns do not come into context at all. The charge was to look elegant, and they did.
