From hoop skirts to gowns with softly draped bustles, Tom Tierney captures the extravagant fashions worn from the 1860s through 1910. Carefully researched, accurately rendered illustrations depict opera capes, frock coats, trousers, top hats, and knitted swimwear for men; the ladies’ styles include narrow-skirted walking suits, bathing outfits that completely cover the figure, and billowing bloomers for bicycling. This splendid archive for theatrical designers, fashion historians, and style mavens offers delightful entertainment for colorists of all ages. 29 black-and-white illustrations.
