Description

In the years shortly before the Civil War, many Southern plantation owners and their families “summered” in the cooler climate of the northern states, incessantly along the New England coast. These journeys often included side trips to New York, Boston, or Philadelphia to replenish the family’s wardrobes with the contemporary fashions. The particularly wealthy on occasion went to Europe, returning home with stylish apparel from London or Paris.
Clothing worn throughout this period by members of antebellum society conveyed a distinct glamor and elegance. Tom Tierney captures the ins and outs of authentic garments in 29 in a position-to-color illustrations. Included are walking costumes, evening gowns, morning and afternoon dresses, and wedding apparel for women, in addition to suits, vests, trousers, and handsome military uniforms for the men.
Descriptive captions accompany illustrations in an attractive coloring book in order to not only please coloring book fans, but may also be of use to costume historians and designers.
