Each featured garment contains a detailed description, the pattern, historical context, and images of the full article of clothing and construction details from inside the garment. This book features an eclectic selection of clothing, including a comfortable 18th-century cotton caraco often worn for work, leisure, travel, or pregnancy, a simple cotton print dress worn in 1834 as a wedding dress, and two dresses, one from 1936 and one from 1954, that show a more elite pedigree, with their labels of popular London designers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will be of interest to experienced costume designers and technicians, cutters and drapers, intermediate students of theatrical costume design, and historical reenactors.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57576492990846,"sku":"NW9781032624587","price":44.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781032624587.jpg?v=1783279786","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/en-eu\/products\/recreating-historic-dress","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
