Great Coffee Table Book!!

Great coffee table book. It has a nice introduction. Then on pages 15 to 47 it provides a history with wonderful pictures. pages 47 to 73 are filled with beautiful pictures of fashion. When you reach page 75 you get to experience technique. Embroidery, lace and tulle, and feather work are spread out amongst the pages following. It is an amazing book. You won't be disappointed with this coffee table book.
