Resplendent Dress from Southeastern Europe: A History in Layers (Fowler Museum Textile)

I’ve always liked Elizabeth 😆Barbers books. This book has great pictures and explanations.

Gorgeous, inspiring images in this book by the expert in prehistoric dress. So many beautiful aprons that have descended from the very first article of clothing.

Gorgeous, Gorgeous, Gorgeous ... and unlike many books on traditional costume, there is very useful information on the meanings of the garments. There are not many books on the clothing of this area of Europe, so grab this one while you can.

This is an excellent book about traditional Macedonian costume tracing the string skirt from prehistoric times to the 20th Century.

This book was selected to receive the R.L.Shep Ethnic Textiles Book Award for 2013. The Award is presented annually by the Textile Society of America (TSA) to a publication judged the best book of the year in this field. The purpose of the Award is to encourage the study and understanding of textile traditions by recognizing and rewarding an exceptional study that fosters appreciation for the field of ethnic textiles.

Very useful and well documented piece of work. The illistrations are real pleasure for the eye! Very thorough research of the topic.
