Books : Sewing : Fashion

 

What an interesting book titled The Language of Fashion. A Dictionary and Digest of Fabric Sewing and Dress by Mary Brooks Picken. Dated 1939.

175 pages starting from A to Z to be used as a dictionary would.. As the front page reads this book provides you with a quick and ready reference for about 8000 words in "the language of fashion" - words associated primarily with wearing apparel and accessories and whatever goes into the making of them.

Increase your fashion vocabulary and a section on how to use your book and a lot of black and white illustrations with the meaning of the word. Such as turban then several pictures of men and womans turbans and the year that fashion design was popular. The blue linen covered book measures 8 1/2 x 11 1/2 inches and is in good condition

Just glancing at a few words, trews, close-fitting one piece garment consisting of breeches and hose in one piece. Formerly worn by Highlanders and Irishmen.

If you have an interest for words and meaning in the fashion world this book should be considered.

Thanks a lot for stopping by
