Absolutely Fantastic! March 17, 2007
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
I am a traditional dance dress artist, although not as prolific (or even as expert) as some of those featured in this book. If I could have given more than 5 stars it would receive them. The photos were beautifully clear, although there only one or two photos of some of the featured dresses, they showed the splendor and detail of artistry from the past. I hope this doesn't spawn more artifakes, especially those coming to the US from overseas. This book is a long-awaited dream come true.

This was a good choice for Native American clothing. It helped with ideas on creating new outfits.
