    Very Pretty, but Hardly "The Definitive Sourcebook"
  

*by L***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 18, 2017*

While there are quite a few things I like (a lot) about this book, the biggest and most frustrating stumbling block, for me, is the fact that the examples are not in chronological order.  It's much harder to follow the progression of fashion trends when you have examples from 1940 facing something from 1948 and the next 2 page spread is from 1943, and so on.  This is not remotely helpful for the primary purpose/reason I purchased this book.  Also, as another reviewer mentioned, there is nothing at all in this book concerning men's fashion over the decade.  (while not fashion, per se, the evolution and influence of military uniforms of the various belligerent nations on civilian fashion is pretty interesting)While fun to flip through and a great coffee table book, this most certainly is not "The Definitive Sourcebook" it's being marketed as and I'm back to hunting for additional, supplemental books to fill in the gaps

    Great 1940's fashion handbook
  

*by R***L on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 8, 2014*

Beautiful book. I brought it as I have started developing a real passion for vintage fashion and was wanting to know more about the eras. This book gives a fantastic insight into history of 40's fashion. It seems very wordy at first but once you start looking through the book at all the pictures its great to have that little bit of history. Good quality pictures, a mixture of real life photographs and designer sketches.Very informative and makes a great coffee table book.

    Smart and Beautiful
  

*by M***Y on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 16, 2016*

I love this book so much. It's a thick volume full of photos and drawings of hundreds of outfits from the 1940s. It includes high-fashion and everyday wear. The pages are smooth and high-quality, so the images are just beautiful. Perfect for period research or just gazing at and longing for a more fashionable time.
