B&W line drawings and notes. Accurate, but still drawings, not patterns or construction diagrams. There are some measurements such as sleeve length or depth of a cuff, but not something I could reproduce an outfit from. Sorry I missed the original post. While I agree with the above assessment, I think "Costume in Detail" is a MUST HAVE for anyone who is halfway serious into study of garments of this period. They provide so many details on the interior construction, plus line drawings of sources that you can then track down elsewhere. ***************** Yes, I have never actually used the book to make a garment (but in conjunction with other books and patterns, you could)...but I find it good "research" for preparing to work in a period. It's friendly in a way, easy to absorb the info. **************One site has it all. Your email accounts, your social networks, and the things you love.
