These illustrations not only show you what apparel appealed to our Victorian ancestors, but give you an idea of the evolutionary nature of fashion as well. You will see bustles come and go, natural forms become the vogue only to be superseded by the constricting hourglass figure. Each look is illustrated with a number of different garments. There are gowns for the morning hours, dinner dresses, sporting costumes, traveling clothes and apparel for special occasions: weddings, communions, funerals, etc. Since no costume was complete without accessories, a full line of hats, fans, parasols, muffs, gloves, handkerchiefs, jewelry, shoes and hair styles is shown as well. A selection of children's attire is also included.

Larger numbers of women were not only working outside the home, they were also playing tennis and golf, and riding bicycles and horses. All these activities called for a definite change in female fashions. Women came to rely on tailored suits with full skirts and fitted jackets over simple blouses.

Buying clothing through the mails had become an American institution, and entire families were often dressed via the U.S. Post Office. More conservative than the up-to-the-minute fashion shops, mail-order catalogs nevertheless offered surprisingly much of the haute couture. But, above all, they accurately record what men, women, and children were actually wearing in the 1920s.\u003cbr\u003eNow Stella Blum (Curator of the Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York) has distilled into this volume the essence of the fashion pages of the Sears, Roebuck and other mail-order catalogs of the Twenties. Her informative text and selection of over 150 representative catalog pages — comprising over 750 illustrations with original captions — gradually trace the evolution of dress modes from the vogue of stodgy postwar fashions to the impact on costume of the crash of '29. In a year-by-year survey, Mrs. Blum's introductory texts relate the trends in fashion to the social changes of the dynamic and restless era, assessing the influence of war and technological developments on the high hemlines, flattened busts and hips, geometric patterns and \"bobbed\" hairstyles of the boyish flapper look. And as she notes, it was through the Sears catalogs that Parisian designers like Coco Chanel, Jeanne Lanvin, and Madeleine Vionnet made their influence felt on Midwestern farms and in urban ghettos.\u003cbr\u003eYou'll find here a marvelous panorama of \"smart,\" \"modish,\" \"chic,\" \"stylish,\" and \"ultra fashionable\" apparel, as well as more traditional garments: for women and \"misses\" there are Middy blouses, Russian boots modeled by Gloria Swanson, \"Bob\" hats modeled by Clara Bow and Joan Crawford; coats, suits, dresses (including the first maternity dresses), sweaters, capes; silk and rayon stockings, corsets, chemises, camisoles, negligees; and accessories like necklaces, belts, combs, headbands, umbrellas, gloves, compacts, hand bags, wristwatches, and powderpuff cases. You'll see slower-to-change men's fashions — shirts, ties, suits, sweaters, and sports clothes — become trimmer, brighter, smarter. And you can follow the trends in children's fashions as well.\u003cbr\u003eFor historians of costume, nostalgia buffs, and casual browsers, these pages afford a rare picture — unspoiled by recent myths about the Roaring Twenties — of how average people really dressed in the jazz age.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eDover Original.\u003c\/div\u003e sears catalogs;fashion plates;evening gowns;costume designers;reference materials;men's clothing;charles williams;fashion magazines;department store;middy;waistlines;hemlines;roebuck;year-by-year;up-to-the-minute;millinery;necking;mavens;altman;undergarments;couture;flappers;haute;stockings;corsets;skimpy;garments;accessories;coats;20's;outfits;fashions;skirts;catalogue;prices;costumes;twenties;sixties;1920s;suits;dresses;models;worn;wore;books on fashion magazines;books on corsets;books on evening gowns;books on catalogues;books on accessories;books on roebuck;books on middies;books on reference materials;books on undergarments;books on hautes;books on stockings;books on coats;books on charles williams;books on twenties;books on waistlines;books on flappers;books on models;books on fashions;books on outfits;books on garments;books on sears catalogs;books on prices;books on costume designers;books on dresses;books on fashion plates;books on department stores;books on costumes;books on mavens;books on sixties;books on coutures;books on men 's clothings;books on 1920s;books on millineries;books on suits","brand":"Edited by Stella Blum","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47159451189569,"sku":"9780486241340","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0812\/3262\/5985\/products\/9780486241340.jpg?v=1710181895"},{"product_id":"9780486242033","title":"Erté's Fashion Designs","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eErté once designed a costume for Mata Hari.

Photography historian Alison Gernsheim first studied Victorian and Edwardian fashion in order to be able to date photographs in her collection. Of course the photos soon proved to be the best of all fashion plates — authentic, detailed, as decorative and charming as top fashion illustration. When united with identifications and descriptions of the chief costume articles, and a commentary that includes childhood memories of the period, the resulting history is doubly indispensable — equally useful and delightful to serious and casual readers.\u003cbr\u003eThe invention of photography preceded that of the crinoline by about a decade. Pre-crinoline bonnets, stovepipe hats, and deep décolletage are featured in the first of these 235 illustrations — including a beautiful 1840 daguerreotype portrait of a lady that is the earliest study of its kind extant. From 1855 to the 1870s the crinoline gave shape (whether barrel, bell, teapot, or otherwise) to English women, and their shapes fill many of these full and half-page photos. English men went beardless in top hats and frock coats; as in other eras, the sporting wear of the previous generation became acceptable morning and evening town attire. Styles and accoutrements came and went — moustaches, straw hats, bustles and bodice line, petticoats, corsets, shawls and falsies, flounces, ruffles, lace, and materials — satin, silk, velvet, woolen underwear, full-length sable, and osprey feathers.

Lalique, Mucha, and Tiffany were perhaps the most famous designers of Art Nouveau jewelry, but there were many lesser-known artists of superior abilities, among them Maurice Dufrène (born 1876), who created the present work. Dufrène later adopted a simpler style, becoming a leading decorative artist of considerable influence. He was frequently represented in the Salon d'Automne and played a major role in planning the Pris Exposition Universelle of 1937. The work features over 300 spectacular Dufrène pieces: pendants, combs, buckles, rings, bracelets, brooches, umbrella handles, penknives, buttons, clasps, and scissors in detailed photographs reprinted from rare, turn-of-the-century folios.

Drawing on extensive, research, the Cunningtons illuminate the role and function of underwear: it protected the wearer against the elements, supported costume shapes, served as an erotic stimulus, symbolized class distinctions, and fulfilled other social, sanitary, and economic functions. \u003cbr\u003eEnhancing the detailed, comprehensive text are more than 100 period illustrations and photographs depicting a laced-up bodice of the twelfth century, embroidered linen drawers of the sixteenth century, a hooped petticoat support in bentwood (c. 1750), footed long drawers (1795), nineteenth-century bustles, early nineteenth-century corsets for men, \"Frillies for the Tiny Lady\" (1939), and much more. A bibliography, appendix, and index complete a valuable reference work that will appeal to costume historians, sociologists, and other readers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eReprint of the Michael Joseph Ltd., London, 1951 edition.\u003c\/div\u003e historical costumes;historical clothing;historic costume;historical fashion;fashion plates;period clothes;costume design;fashion history;period clothing;hair styles;fashion dictates;costume designer;nineteenth century;time period;underclothing;coverings;costumer;polyester;costuming;undergarments;auguste;hairstyles;1200;minuses;corsets;pluses;garments;accessories;pictorial;nineteenth-century;illustrators;outfits;fashions;underwear;eras;plate;asia;worn;wore;historians;accuracy;books on time periods;books on corsets;books on illustrators;books on costume designs;books on polyesters;books on accessories;books on historic costumes;books on eras;books on period clothings;books on costumings;books on fashion histories;books on undergarments;books on hair styles;books on nineteenth centuries;books on historical fashions;books on fashions;books on underwears;books on auguste;books on outfits;books on garments;books on plates;books on accuracies;books on costume designers;books on historical clothings;books on fashion plates;books on coverings;books on hairstyles;books on historians;books on period clothes;books on historical costumes","brand":"C.

It not only discusses and describes the clothing worn in rural America (primarily in New England) between 1783 and 1800, it is one of the few books to include scaled drawings of patterns and full instructions for making most of the garments.\u003cbr\u003eThe attire includes the clothing both of settlers and of the Abenaki Indians of New England. The Abenaki traditionally wore clothing made of soft tanned deerskin or moosehide, sometimes decorated with dyes or with complex embroidery of dyed porcupine quills and moose hair. By the late eighteenth century, however, the Abenaki had adopted certain of the settlers' garments, such as the men's shirt and the women's shift. Similarly, the settlers had begun to wear moccasins, leggings, and other Indian garments when it made sense in their daily lives.\u003cbr\u003eThe heart of this book is devoted to full descriptions and scaled patterns for specific garments. For women: shift, petticoat and skirt, gowns, neckerchief, apron, headgear, and more. Men's clothes include shirt, cravat and stock, breeches and breechcloth, waistcoat, coat, frock, and headgear. Also covered are men's and women's stockings, leggings, shoes, and moccasins. While the majority of the clothing was worn in rural areas, small-town clothing is described as well.\u003cbr\u003eCultural and costume historians, or anyone interested in the clothing styles of the late eighteenth century in rural America, will find a rich store of information and practical instruction in this book.
