Women's undergarments history and construction

This is a wonderful book full of historical background on ladies undergarments along with men's undergarments. Based on the collection in the Albert and Victoria Museum. Great illustrations and photography of garment construction, function and fabrics involved in their creation. A must for seamstresses everywhere. Absolutely marvelous addition to my sewing books library. Well worth the money and time taken to read its contents.
