We're back with a new quick little episode of the podcast, where Lauren and I chat about our top 5 costuming books. While it's difficult to pick favorites, we did our best (even though Lauren cheated a little bit...hahahahaha).

Our Favorite Books (in no particular order):
1. Kyoto's Costume Book(s)

4. Norah Waugh's Corsets and Crinolines
5. Janet Arnold's Patterns of Fashion

We hope that you enjoy this episode, as we recorded it with new microphones and I battleaxed my way (more like stumbled) through Adobe Audition...so hopefully the issues with sound have improved. I'm not a professional and I'm very much a beginner with this software, but I do hope it has helped!
Until next time!
Abby
Thrift Books often has these for much less then Amazon.
ReplyDeleteI keep forgetting that Thrift Books exists.
DeleteAfter listening to your episode I picked up a copy of "The Cut of Women's Clothes" in new condition for 48€, what a steal! And it's so full of good information, thank you for pointing the book out.
ReplyDeleteThank You so much for this podcast! After listening to this episode I started looking around for books and found a copy of The Cut of Women's Clothes for $70. Taking your advice I immediately bought it and am happy to report it arrived today! I can't wait to sit down and read through it.
