Editorial Review:
Product Description:
This coloring book panorama of late-18th- and early-19th-century French fashions offers a fascinating survey of styles. 45 plates of detailed, accurate illustrations include representations of claw-hammer frock coats and vests for the well-dressed man, loose pantaloons and shorter skirts for the working classes, high-waisted promenade gowns for fashionable ladies, and accessories. 45 black-and-white illustrations.

- Empire FashionsI wasn't aware that this was a coloring book. Otherwise, it is a decent period overview much like Tom Tierney's other books. It could be useful to costume students looking for base illustrations to adapt.

- must haveI just purchased these Dover COloring Books for my mother and she loves them. The detail is out of this world and the variety of colors you can use are only limited by your inagination. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

- Detailed illustrationsI guess this is one of the best Tom Tierney's fashion history coloring books. Drawings are really well done and details are clear. Unlike some other Tierney's illustrations, these don't make an impression that they were drawn too quickly.

- GoodI own four of Tierney's coloring books. The Empire Fashions book is well drawn in terms of the clothing, but the people's proportions, especially the women, seem a bit off. I like the addition of pages of hairstyles and accessories, and the two page spread with the drawing of Napoleon crowning Josephine is good as it gives historical perspective to the book.

- ALL OF TOM TIERNEY'S PAPERDOLL COLLECTIONI HIGHLY RECOMMEND TOM TIERNEY'S ENTIRE PAPERDOLL COLLECTION. THE AGE LIMITS YOU HAVE SET ARE FAR TOO RESTRICTIVE. ONLY WE ANCIENTS HAVE A BETTER APPRECIATION OF HIS WORK. I AM A COSTUME DESIGNER, AND OWN A COSTUME SHOP, AND EVEN THOUGH I HAVE VOLUMES OF BOOKS ABOUT HISTORY AND COSTUMING IN MY PERSONAL LIBRARY, I KEEP MR. TIERNEY'S PAPERDOLL BOOKS IN MY SHOP, NOT FOR SALE, BUT FOR INSTANT RESEARCH FOR MY CUSTOMERS WHO MAY NOT BE FAMILIAR WITH THE ERA THEY NEED FOR THEIR COSTUME. NOT ONLY ARE HIS DRAWINGS ... Read More
