Review: For persistent and passionate costumers of all kinds, this book is a costuming index. A college textbook, it has chapters on a wide variety of topics, including millinery, shoemaking, pattern design, fitting and tailoring, underpinnings, wigmaking, fabrics, materials, and equipment. It focuses on sturdy theater costuming techniques, information that is so useful and applicable in many other areas of costuming.

Summary: So many ideas so little time
Review: Not the best for what I do but oh the ideas! I was looking for more historical information and ways to research but what i got in this book was a great trade-off. Basic and advanced information of costume construction and how to get a look when the materials you need can not be found. Awesome. I use it over and over!
