Reviews

[Camille]

Interesting but nothing special, it's a bit limited in contents, even for a child.

[Clare]

Interesting but not exceptional, a brief glimpse at fashion from ancient times up to the present. Contains some trivia about the origins of styles and historically links lavishness of dress with wealth. There isn't much about the potential of creativity in fashion today, and it will not provide inspiration for budding fashion designers.

[Naomi]

If I could give it a 10 I would. I loved this book.

[Aisha]

I love the content it's very informative but child like and fun!there is not a bit in the book that is not interesting or exciting.
