Book excerpt: After a Fashion covers medieval through Art Deco styles, for men and women. It guides readers through each stage of a reproduction project planning, designing, choosing materials, and constructing. It advises them on all aspects of collecting vintage clothes buying, restoring, altering, and wearing. The pattern-making and sewing instructions are useful to sewers at any experience level. Directions have been added for using the Internet to buy and sell, research styles, and contact costumers and collectors. An updated, expanded appendix lists over 600 sources (on-line and otherwise) for supplies, vintage clothes, and information.
