Vintage Details is a stunning collection of more than 600 beautifully photographed details from previously unseen 20th-century vintage clothing. The images are arranged by detail: necklines; collars; sleeves; cuffs; pockets; fastenings and buttonholes; hems, darts, stitching and fitting devices; pleats, frills and flounces; embellishment; surface texture and print. Inner construction shots will also be included, along with images of the full garments providing context for the details shown. Easy to navigate and packed full of inspirational images, this book will become an indispensable reference to vintage detailing for fashion design students and professionals. Review: Lovely sourcebook full of ideas - This book is mainly details of American made couture from lesser known fashion houses. The first section shows the complete garments, and further sections deal with details of the garments. i.e. necklines; pockets; fastenings; etc. The book is beautifully illustrated in colour throughout and the date range is roughly 1920s to 1990s. A wonderful sourcebook for anyone wishing to understand garment structure and design. In a nut-shell, its a well produced ideas book Review: A great source of inspiration! - BRILLIANT! Great source of inspiration. Wonderful archive of details. Shame modern clothing isn't produced as it was back in the day. If you love clothing you will love this book.

Consigliato
Prima di acquistare il libro ho letto accuratamente le recensioni, diverse erano negative ma ho comunque provato ad acquistarlo, credo che sia importante prima di acquistarlo capire esattamente di cosa si tratta, il libro è un volume molto ampio fotografico di dettagli Vintage, mostra quindi abiti e dettagli sartoriali vintage, non ci sono spiegazioni o cartamodelli, è una raccolta fotografica, personalmente l'ho trovata molto utile da stilista e appassionata di vintage e consiglio l'acquisto come libro di ricerca e idee, lo sconsiglio se si cercano spiegazioni dettagliate.

Beautiful Book
A perfect book for any fashion designer, or vintage fashion enthusiasts. Beautiful photos of multiple eras of fashion. The book is separated into sections, sleeves, Hems, embellishment Etc. And detailed photos for each section. Great for fashion inspiration/construction details and makes a beautiful coffee table book too. Very happy to have this book as part of my fashion book collection.

Beautiful Book with Useful Information
I have an extensive library of fashion and sewing books, and this book is one of my favorites. Vintage Details is a picture book that illustrates in a very informative way the quality, ingenuity, and style that can be incorporated into a garmet when those things matter to the dressmaker. Another reviewer mentioned the fast-fashion trend that we live by today, fueled by very affordable clothing from Asia, that is easily disposable after a few wears. The clothing in this book was meant to last for years and years, with classic styliing and details that never go out of fashion. I own a lot of books that showcase various, well-known designers such as Chanel, Dior, Vionnet, etc. I did not recognize any of the designers whose work is published in this book, yet the clothing and its details are second to none. Very enjoyable book, and I will be incorporating some of these "Vintage Details" into my own home reations.
