From the 1920s flapper dresses to 1950s beaded cardigans and bell-bottom jeans of the '70s, vintage clothing is helping to define today's fashions. This book covers pricing and history of affordable items sold at general stores including Sears, Montgomery-Ward and expensive couture from leading designers such as Chanel and Dior. In this handy guide, historians, collectors and consumers with an eye for fashion will discover: clothes and accessories for men, women and children from the 1800s through to 1970; 1,200 detailed colour photos to assist with identification; history snippets about each era featured; and prices and identification for more than 2,500 items.

Reader Reviews
This is a great reference, as well as a fun book to read. There is a large range of eras, the pictures are beautiful, each item described well. I know prices are always relative, but it really does have a wide variety of items shown in each section, which can really "train your eye" if you are just starting out collecting. I will be able to use it to find some good descriptive terms, and I saw several items that we have in our collections pictured! For someone who is fairly new to seeing vintage clothing as collectible and fascinating, I can't wait to pick it up again! As a note, if you are looking for a verbose account of the history of fashion, or the impact of society, etc. this is not the book you are looking for. I love it for good examples of descriptions, and for the beautiful pictures and reference points.
