Classic Fashion Patterns of the 20th Century by Anne Tyrrell, softback published by Batsford. ISBN 978-1-9063-8851-5, price 20.00 available from www.anovabooks.com
If like me you love the style of the 40’s and 50’s and earlier, not to mention the classic 60’s, you will find this book of interest, not only for the patterns but as a record of the history of fashion. Vintage is hip and this book is an excellent resource. Follow the hemlines, whether waists were in or not and all the other intrigues of the fashion world. Excellent and informative text accompanies photographs from each period when fashion really meant style.
