Book Reviews of Everyday Fashions of the Thirties As Pictured in Sears Catalogs (Dover Books on Costume & Textiles)

Book Review: Required Reference
Summary: 5 Stars

The decade-by-decade images from all the books in this series are, IMHO, required references for those interested in fashion and costume design in the 20th century.

Summary of Everyday Fashions of the Thirties As Pictured in Sears Catalogs (Dover Books on Costume & Textiles)

For this historically accurate sampling of authentic 1930's fashion, Stella Blum, former Curator of the Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, selected for reproduction 133 representative pages from rare Sears catalogs of the period (1933-1939). Hundreds of illustrations record what men, women, and children were actually wearing in the '30s when, as a copy line from the fall 1930 catalog proclaimed, "Thrift is the spirit of the day. Reckless spending is a thing of the past".
