I'm Happy after buyingThis Fashionable Clothing Sears Catalogs Collectors
I ordered several books while researching the attire of the late 50's for a play I am currently costume designing. This book was the best visual source. Not only is is thick considering the more limited time period it covers, but it also included men's wear (which some of the other books I have ordered leave out) in addition to children's, teen girls, and women's attire for multiple occasions from work to leisure to sleepwear, and coats, shoes, accessories, etc. It was also helpful that the images were in COLOR; it's one thing to read about the color combinations of a period but another to see them in use. If you are looking for resources on the fashions of the late 50's for everyday people...(not models or what would have been in the fashion magazines because let's be honest very few people actually wore what is in the fashion plates of any part icular period) I would definitely order this book and one other "American Costume, 1915-1970" by Shirley Miles O'Donnol with foreword by Lucy Bart on (whose book "Historic Costume for the Stage" is a must for all earlier time periods.)
