Fabulous book

One could read all day out of a book and still not be able to visualize how to identify different fabrics. Texture is so much more important. I don't sew but I do buy vintage clothes for my prop company. This book was very helpful. The only thing I think would be better if all the fabrics except the tweeds, etc. were the same color.

all about silk

I bought this book in 1993 because i needed to familiarize myself with the silk fabric. i also bought many other books on the subject. today i was browsing through my bookself and came across my copy of all about silk and i am still amazed by its content. i will now order the other two books which have since been available.

An incredible book

This is an absolutely indispensible book for costume designers and seamstresses alike. It has an incredibly easy format to read loaded with pertinent information about the fabrics as well as the actual fabric samples. I am studying to become a costume designer and realized that my fabric vocabulary was very limited. I was overjoyed to find this book and am loving it.
