Absolutely fascinating, from the prices to the styles of bloomers via the incredibly pointy shoes. If you love the fashions of this period, this will keep you amused for hours, and you can be assured that what you see is what was on actually sale then, not as recreated by a costume director.

This book is a perfect reference book for costuming period shows. I was Head Costumer for "The Music Man" and the fashions in River City (fictional), Iowa would have been around the beginning of this book. Sears Catalogs were the main point of reference in the early years of the company. It is such fun to re-visit the past and be astounded at the prices. This Dover publication is just as good as all the others that I have of theirs and I will surely purchase more as I costume shows from different time periods
