19th-Century Fashion in Detail (Victoria and Albert Museum), Paperback / softback Book

19th-Century Fashion in Detail (Victoria and Albert Museum) Paperback / softback

Part of the In Detail series

Paperback / softback

Description

This sumptuously illustrated book reveals the decorative seams, refined stitching, voluptuous drapery, strict corseting and slashing and stamping that make up some of the garments in the V&A’s superlative 19th-century fashion collection.

With an authoritative text, exquisite colour photography of garment details and line drawings showing the complete construction of each piece, it gives the reader a unique opportunity to examine historical clothing that is often too fragile to be on display. It is an inspirational resource for students, collectors, designers and anyone who is fascinated by fashion and clothing.
