Summary:

Each of these three books describes the clothes of a set of fashionable people who were especially interested in what they wore. They combine historical accuracy with the fictional journals of the characters, thus giving insights into the social life and behaviour of the different periods. Each book includes four pull-up scenes to cut out and make and which show some costumes in three dimensions. Each book also includes a carefully researched glossary of useful terms.
