Book Description
This book provides a sweeping study of the clothing of the 1930s. Garments of all kinds, from the intimate to the most formal, the flamboyant to the practical, for women, men and children, are displayed and discussed in detail. Accessories including jewelry, hats, and handbags are also explored. Even uniforms used for work, band, and cheerleading are found in this inclusive work. More than 600 color photographs spread the 1930s fashion world out before you. An historical overview explains the turbulent 1930s and the economic depression that so affected every aspect of daily life. Values for the garments and accessories are found in the captions. Finally, a glossary, bibliography, and index round out this fascinating presentation. Designers, historians, and fashion-conscious consumers will find this an indespensible reference.

Reader Reviews
I just received this book for Christmas along with many other fashion guides. I buy a lot of reference material on period fashions because I own an antique and vintage clothing shop. This book has wonderful pictures that are large and clear. There are a lot of photos as well as textual information that will guide anyone through the decade's different styles. The layout of the book is very nice, also. There is quite a bit of information dedicated to menswear and children's fashions also. I do wish the book had more pictures than text, sometimes I'd rather look at the pictures than read about why the style was popular, because the pictures are all I really need to date a piece. Unlike some of the other reference books I have, this book is a little hard to thumb through. Still, If you are looking for a book that covers mens, womens and childrens fashions of the 30s look no further!
