Seller's Description:
Color plates, drawings. VG. A beautiful copy of this hard to find book. Blue binding, gilt lettering. Not only the costumes from these bygone eras but. All the under garments that went with them. Aline Bernstein began her career at the Neighborhood Playhouse where she did some of her most poetic and imaginative settings. An actor's daughter, she inherited a passionate love of the theatre and became one of the leading designers. Edge wear, some soil to bottom corner of fore-edge.
As a novelist of historical fiction I am always looking for materials to bring plausibility and realism to my work. This (soft cover) book is such a tool. It includes black and white, as well as color plates, illustrating women's dresses, shoes, undergarments and the hair styles historically worn for each. The appropriate types of materials used to make each dress, such as brocade and pompadour silk is also included. A true bonus is the inclusion of the sewing patterns for the items shown, which are broken down piece by piece for enlargement and sewing ease. The author and illustrator, Aline Bernstein, was a Hollywood legend in costume design. She also was a teacher and advisor in her craft for movies and the theater. Her knowledge shines through each page making this book a real treasure for anyone needing insight into this subject.
