Walter Foster has been producing straightforward step-by-step art instruction books for more than 90 years. In this new guide, the company digs deeply into its archives to provide fashion figure drawing instruction that surveys 20th-century fashion. By viewing sketches from the 1920s through the 1960s, readers can render their versions of women's and men's fashions of the day. A chapter on theatrical costumes also uses vintage drawings to present a variety of period, burlesque, and Hollywood costumes. -VERDICT: This will appeal to retro fans and those with strong nostalgic sensibilities much more than to the fashion-forward set. - "Library Journal"
