i WAS LOOKING FOR PATTERN HISTORY BOOKS, NOT SURE WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN I BOUGHT IT. THE BOOK IS A SMALL PAPER BACK, SOME COSTUME HISTORY AND PIXS OF FLAT PATTERNS WHICH YOU CAN BUY IN THE FABRIC STORES. NOT THAT EXCITING OF A BOOK.IF A PERSON IS NOT A PATTERN MAKER, THE INFO IN THE BOOK WILL BE HARD TO DUPLICATE WITHOUT A BASIC BLOCK OR KNOW HOW. I ONLY BOUGHT IT FOR ABOUT 2 DOLLARS, THATS THE ONLY REASON I BOUGHT IT.WOULD NOT SPEND 20 DOLLARS AS SOME SELLERS WANTED.

This a fine, comprehensive book helping you see both how the costumes are constructed and how the costumes evolved from those of the previous period. But it does have one flaw that might keep this book from being useful to a costuming beginner--the patterns must be copied, enlarged, and adjusted to the individual for whom the costume is being made. For the experienced sewer, these could be more of an advantage than a problem.
