{"product_id":"the-complete-costume-dictionary","title":"The Complete Costume Dictionary","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhile there are costume and fashion dictionaries tied to specific countries or periods  none have been comprehensive. In The Complete Costume Dictionary  Elizabeth Lewandowski has collected from a variety of sources-including costume history texts  journal articles  historical publications  autobiographies  biographies  foreign language dictionaries  and contemporary publications-to create a resource that spans the globe  from the earliest record of fashion to the 21st century.  Including more than 20 000 fashion and costume terms  this volume also features more than 300 illustrations. The first section of the book is an alphabetical listing of these words with their definitions  period  and country of origin. This volume also contains appendixes that list the terms by country of origin  period  and type of clothing. The book is not limited to the Western World and includes both archaic and current terms.  Significantly greater in scope than anything currently available-online or in print-this one-of-a-kind publication is an invaluable resource for costume and fashion historians  textile preservationists  period re-enactors  and history and theatre scholars  as well as theatre professionals.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44964150902837,"sku":"ByrdShop_0810840049","price":103.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780810840041.jpg?v=1770451073","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-complete-costume-dictionary","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
