Description

Enter the elegant world of mid-Victorian fashions with the assistance of this unique coloring book. Artist Tom Tierney, well known for his stunning paper doll collections, turns his talents to a new medium and spotlights the trendy clothing worn by well-to-do Americans within the Civil War era.
Forty-five meticulously researched and finely rendered illustrations depict men, women, and children in wardrobes that take them through their day — from attractive outfits for at-home wear to elegant evening dresses for special occasions. Handsome military outfits worn by Union and Confederate officers are the rule for the men of the period, whilst most fashions for youngsters mirror adult styles. Center-stage are the lovely garments worn by the women: taffeta and silk walking dresses edged with bands of ribbon; elaborate, tassel-trimmed carriage cloaks; exquisite off-the-shoulder ball gowns enhanced with floral accents, and a lot more. Brief, informative captions describe the style and fabric of the apparel depicted, offering helpful suggestions for colorists who need to lend a touch of historical accuracy to their finished products.
Adapted from the pages of such vintage fashion publications as Harper’s Bazar and Godey’s Lady’s Book, these painstakingly executed drawings will thrill coloring book fans of every age, serve as inspiration to costume designers, and make superb references for fashion historians.
