Love this book.
Enjoy this book if you enjoy the studying the time period. High in detail, its enjoyable if you have the time and patience and care about what Tom Tierney has pulled together for this wonderful book. Really, I do recommend it to those who like and study historical fashion and history. I loved this book for all the above!
This coloring book presents 29 fashion illustrations from 1863 to 1910, including wedding and coronation fashions of King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra, bathing outfits, women's undergarments, "Aesthetic Look" of Oscar Wilde, six outfits for children and many other.The pages are thick enough for gentle watercoloring. Coloring Tierney's fashion illustrations is always a pleasure.I enjoyed this book, but unlike many other Tierney's coloring books with 45 illustrations, this book offers only 29 illustrations for the same price.However, if you are into this period and love coloring, I guess you wouldn't regret this purchase.
Some of the historical fashion coloring books are too simplistic for all but the very young colorer. Tierney does a wonderful job blending clean illustrations with eye-catching fashion. My 10 year old daughter and I both enjoy coloring in it.
After purchasing a number of adult coloring books, this book finally gave me the coloring experience I was looking for. The drawings are very well done, and they give a wide representation of styles available during the age. Will probably purchase again. The reason I gave four stars instead of five is that if you use markers, it bleeds through the pages, making the other side impossible (or messy) to color. Otherwise, it's an excellent purchase.
I just purchased these Dover COloring Books for my mother and she loves them. The detail is out of this world and the variety of colors you can use are only limited by your inagination. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
I should have realized before I ordered it that it, being a fashion book, takes an awful lot of ink to work on. This would be a far better book to get if you work in some other medium, such as pencil or crayon rather than gel pens. The pictures are attractive and the designs are pretty. It just wasn't the right book for me.
I bought this at the time that I bought paper dolls. I don't know if I didn't read thoroughly or if I just got carried away, but I am pleased with my purchase. I don't think it is suitable for young children, but it's wonderful for costume design. I don't know if I would waste it on crayons as well. I think watercolor will be the media I use. It is a beautiful book!
