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

quality gets worse over time
have had these for a while now, they were better quality when i first purchased them. i flip them inside out before washing and they just end up scraggly and weird textured after i wash them. i’m not sure if i’m doing anything wrong when i clean them. not a terrible price for what you get, i just wish they were slightly better quality

Fab , chic, furry & perfect for HTX weather
Five stars because I’m super picky about my main blanket and after two years I finally found one that will be as good as the one with 70 holes that I’ve been holding onto like a 7 year old. It’s super furry, and soft and the solid black side is smooth. Its not too heavy , its the best kind of thin which is perfect for Houston Texas. It’s just how I like my go to blanket. I have tons of blankets but there’s always one that’s my most favorited and now, this one will be for the next however many years. It’s a FAB design too. Love!
