This practical CD-ROM and book set spans nearly 65 years of Victorian costume history. Accurate representations of approximately 100 full-color outfits are included, many by such noted designers as Worth, Paquin, Gilguin, Dolly Varden, Gustav Janet, Revillon, and picking & Jones. Designs for women include a lovely off-the-shoulder, lace-trimmed wedding dress; fur-trimmed cloaks, jackets, and coats; a wide-skirted evening gown, resort wear, a stunning afternoon dress with a bell-shaped skirt, formal riding attire, a walking suit, sportswear, a dress for cycling, and bathing attire. For the gentlemen, there are plaid trousers, frock coats, ruffled shirts, casual jackets, vests, and more. Top hats, walking sticks, cadet hats, wide-brimmed hats, bonnets, parasols, and other period accessories complement the fashionable attire. Carefully researched and meticulously rendered for either computer or traditional cut-and-paste use, the illustrations are accompanied by a 16-page section of text providing background information on the period, while specific notes comment on fabrics and other details of each outfit. An invaluable reference and sourcebook for costume historians and designers, this CD-ROM and book set is an easy-to-use archive of permission-free fashion illustrations for artists and craftworkers for use in a host of art, craft, and print projects.
