I wish there’d be micro illustrations on each dressing items ie the details on the neck, the frills at the back of the hands etc.

I, however, like how detailed and specific the descriptions are for every clothing along the era ranging from noblemen and women to peasants and milkmaids.

Very informative. And I know the information is not always available but it could have used more information on the costume and dress if different classes. It did well covering a few European countries' fashions and some American ones as well.
