Title: Not for the serious period seamstress, but a fine reference
Review: An excellent reference and beginning point for most theatrical costumers, hobbyists, and others looking for ideas, not specific patterns. Literally hundreds of color drawings of both male and female dress from a decent variety of places, times and social backgrounds. Each drawing is labeled, but I'd suggest taking the dates and to some degree the places with a grain of salt-- John Peacock's drawing convey style quite well, but are a bit lacking in accuracy and detail.
