  • Corsets and Crinolines

    This book is so well known that it hardly needs another review. However, I would like to say that it certainly lives up to its tremendous reputation. There is so much historical information contained within it, and there are so many patterns too. The patterns do have to be enlarged etc. though. The book arrived in good time and was well packed so that it was in good condition. Highly recommended!
