An awesome resource for people interested in corsets and crinolines and how they were constructed. I haven't had a chance to sit down and read it cover to cover, however the pictures are wonderful and really helpful. Although there are historical facts in the book, I'd recommend it mostly for people interested in seeing the specifics of construction.
