Summary: An Excellent and Fun Reference Guide
Review: Although the illustrated people are not in perfect scale, I nonetheless feel that the fashions... and their absolutely perfect accessories... are exceptional representations of what was worn during each year of that wonderful decade. Not only has the author accurately pinpointed which fashions were popular year by year, he has left this reader with a great many fond memories.

Summary: An Excellent and Fun Reference Guide
Review: I was extremely disapointed after viewing this book. The illustrations are so bad, it's hard to look past it to see the clothing design. I wish the author would have hired an experienced fashion illustrator to compose the drawings in a sketching style of the time...1960's. I do have to give the author credit for the layout of the design progression per year. The book did contain many design references/illustrations for accessores. This is rare, as there are not many accessory design referece books.

last words; Okay reference for the 60's era of clothing & accessory design resource, but horrific illustration!!!

Summary: Easy refrence of 60's fashion
Review: This is a great tool to see an overview of a decade of fashion. It makes it easy to see the evaluation of style. The illustrations are distinct and well organized, with pages for daywear, evening wear, sports and leisure, wedding and underwear. There is a page of accessories for each year. There are not many men's fashions.
There are detailed descriptions of each illustration is in the back (in a tiny font.) I have all Peacock's decades now and I know they will be used often.
