review 1: This book was not as helpful as I wanted it to be. I'm thinking about sewing my own clothes and was hoping for something to help me discover many styles of dresses (in the hopes of figuring out what I might want to sew for myself). Rather, in order to get to 100, some of the dresses don't seem to be quite as "iconic" as the subtitle claims. Some also seem to be similar (as in, isn't the meat dress just another form of the stunt dress?).But, I did enjoy the stories and the illustrations are fun.Plus there is a nice list of suggested books in the back, from which I hope to find the kind of book about fashion that I'm looking for!
review 2: Full Disclosure: I won this book through FirstReads.As a fashion girl, I was thrilled to receive this book, which details ... more100 different types of dresses that have made a mark in fashion. I love the wonderful illustrations, and the text itself has a nice tone throughout. It strikes a nice balance between conversational, informative, and a touch humorous. I also think the choices on the list are mostly well-informed and I also love the bibliography of fashion-related books in the back of this one. This is an excellent addition to the library of anyone who loves clothes. less
