Great book for anyone who enjoys 1950s clothingBy RetromamaI already owned Everyday Fashions of the Thirties as well as the Forties and was DYING to purchase this one. I was not disappointed. Its a fascinating look at some of the fashions that are offered back in the 1950s. Its all black and white; copied from actual Sears catalogs. Great for people who are into period clothing; fashion designers or people who love the 1950s and like to see what the style was. I use it for inspiration for my accessories line as well as making clothing for myself.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Lovely; comprehensive review of 1950s fashionBy DorableThis thin but satisfying volume is crammed with black-and-white photographs of 1950s clothing of almost every type (no high fashion -- this is department store clothing). There is an obvious effort to represent as many types of clothes as possible and focus on representative fashions of each year; from the 40s-ish fashion of 1950 to the beginnings of mod in 1958. Many of the garments are accompanied by catalog text; which provides a surprising amount of detail on the construction of the garment -- great for anyone looking to recreate similar styles. I suppose many of the prospective clients were home seamstresses and knew the vocabulary; and perhaps expected to be told by the store what type of fastening; seaming; or back vent a garment had. There is also a lot of information about fabric; as the catalogs tended to brag about whatever horrible synthetic fabric was considered advanced that year. My favorite item in the book may be the anachronistic "push up bra" from 1957; described as providing "above-the-bra loveliness."This book cant compete with thicker compilations that provide color photographs; and it may not contain enough of whatever your particular interest is (there arent many undergarments; for instance). But its a good source for information and inspiration for retro fans; and well worth the relatively low price.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Back In TimeBy Gerald T.
