Nineteenth-Century Fashion in Detail

This book captures the richness of nineteenth-century fashion. As part of the V&A Fashion in Detail series, the opulence and diversity of clothing in the period are captured through exquisite colour photography, specially commissioned line drawings of the garments and authoritative text. Illustrating delicate embroidery on neoclassical gowns, Liberty & Co. smocking, vibrant colour on crinoline and bustles and elegant men’s tailoring, «Nineteenth-Century Fashion in Detail», now with a new cover, brings the nineteenth-century period to life.
