Fashionable Clothing from the Sears Catalogs: Late 1950s (Schiffer Book for Collectors)

Summary: Schiffer's Late 50's Review
Review: Joy Shih and Schiffer Publications have done it again. Fashionable Clothing from the Sears Catalogs: Late 1950's is an excellent Primary resource for Costume and Fashion Designers. I find that the layout and the organization of this book much better than Schiffer's "early 1950's". Unfortunately it only focuses on Sears Catolgues' perspective of this era, which is only middle America, blue collar, suburbia. I give this book for stars for its' use of primary resource, clear division of clothing types, reproduction of true fifties color, and actual cost of garments today and yesterday
