This volume of style clues for fashion detectives weaves fascinating elements of social history into tales of how, why, and when fashions evolved. Hundreds of sequential illustrations highlight the style flourishes that identify garments for men, women, and children as products of their individual periods. The images are accompanied by highly readable -- and often humorous -- comments and explanations by author and illustrator Betty Kreisel Shubert. A noted fashion historian, Ms. Shubert is a columnist for Ancestry Magazine and has designed clothes and costumes for stage and screen as well as hotels, restaurants, and casinos all over the world.
Ranging decade by decade from the nineteenth through twentieth centuries, this book offers a simple way to date photographs and clothing. It also provides background that makes less-accessible histories of costume easier to understand. This second edition, enhanced with a selection of new photographs, offers a valuable resource for costumers, vintage fashion enthusiasts, social historians, genealogists, and collectors of nostalgia items. The easy-to-follow format makes it a great browsing book even for those who are unversed in fashion design and history.

"A great reference book. I can't wait to put it to use " -- Maureen Taylor, The Photo Detective

"Fascinating I couldn't put it down. The author shows how social development influenced how we dress. I would certainly include this book in my theater classes for its value to future costumers, directors, and actors." -- Allen M. Zeltzer, Professor of Theater, Emeritus, Cal-State University at Fullerton

Buy it!!! Do not skip on this sweater
Color: Dark Grey, Size: XX-Large
I bought this for my husband to wear if he needed something nicer in the cold weather . But i have wore it more than him because how amazing it is. First off the material is such great quality, it is hard to explain that its thick/ dense but not thick.. the sweater is thin, light and wonderful yet feels thick good quality. It did not shrink when washed, fits wonderfully and color has stayed strong as well. It looks high quality and is an amazing value for the price. No one would know it was not name brand. Do not skip on this sweater.

Great find for less
Color: Wine Red, Size: X-Large
I purchased two of these in different colors for my husband. They were way cheaper than other options available. I was nervous about the quality with how much cheaper, but he loves them. And I must say they look very good on him. Happy with purchase, true to size. My husband is 6'2' and no complaints about the length.
