  What distinguishes this title (besides the 500 years of coverage added to the enlarged edition) is its 180 color illustrations, which depict in rich detail figures representing varied social classes of European (and later American) society from 1066 to 1990. A succinct glossary and a one-page introduction provide complementary text to the parade of the great years of fashions' and the full descriptions that follow....Fashion/costume students or enthusiasts, fashion designers, and theater wardrobe designers will find this a valuable and interesting research tool.
