Description - Godey's Fashions by Ming-Ju Sun

Superbly rendered illustrations, adapted from Godey's Lady's Book, a rare nineteenth-century fashion magazine, provide authentic views of evolving Victorian modes of apparel - from lace-edged necklines and elongated bodices to fitted bonnets and extravagant bustles. Thirty ready-to-colour illustrations depict lavish dresses and gowns of velvet and damask; smart riding outfits trimmed with braid and gilt; an elegant cashmere shawl, children's outfits; as well as hair ornaments, footwear, and other accessories. A lovely collection that offers an authentic glimpse of what well-dressed ladies and youngsters of the Victorian era were wearing, this is a must-have for colouring book fans, costume designers, and cultural historians.
