An excellent book, in depth and informative sections range from handbags, jewelry, eveningwear, daywear, mens, children's. I am not lising all the sections but you get the picture, includes color photographs of varying objects and original black and white photos.

Dear Bolo,I purchased this book from Bolo as a birthday gift for my daughter, who loves 1920s fashions.I was delighted when the book arrived in plenty of time for her birthday on 14 May, and much earlier than Bolo's estimated delivery time.My daughter LOVES this book and I do too! It is filled with beautiful colour illustrations of the fashions of the time, including underwear, children's and men's fashions too. It also has a considerable amount of historical information regarding what was happening in the world during the 1920s.I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in the 1920s and what women were wearing during that decade.Maria Faen

This was a pleasure to read (and LOOK!) through. The descriptions are interesting, and the images are fascinating. You will see multiple examples of many, many pieces from the 20's, from shoes and accessories to various articles of clothing for men, women, and children. For Jazz-era or fashion enthusiasts, this is a must!

3.0 out of 5 stars Big Disappointment

u. · January 29, 2013

I bought this book because of the glowing recommendations here and was sorry I did. To me it's visually cacaphonous; poorly laid out with, for the most part, junky graphics. The reproductions of art works, advertisements, etc. are of consistently low quality (and often too small to be instructive), and the modern run-of-the-mill mannequins used to model the clothing look ridiculous. If you're going to make a book on 20's fashions, use mannequins from the 20's (or repros) for heaven's sake. On top of that the photography is uninspiring. Maybe it's useful for research but this book is certainly not aesthetically pleasurable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best period costume book ever

J.R. · June 24, 2016

This book is the best overview of a fashion period I have ever seen. I am a professional costume designer and have a large library of books on period costumes and this one is the best. So much information in a small package, gives just the right amount of information and pictures needed to give you a feel for the period. Covers everything from underwear to communion dresses. Wish she would write some more books!!

5.0 out of 5 stars very good.

Bought for my wife-who is deeply interested in 20th C womens history,and 19th-20th C womens fashions. She thought it was an outstanding picture book,and she actually found things she didn't know about 1920's fashion. (A very rare admission.)Highly recommend buying a good quality used copy.
