American Fashion by Sarah Tomerlin Lee

Adrian by Robert Riley, Mainbocher by Dale McConathy, Claire McCardell by Sally Kirkland, Norell by Bernadine Morris, & Pauline Trigere by Eleni Sakes Epstein. 500 pages illustrated throughout- this classic study is quite hard to find. A very nice copy. Dust jacket is now protected in a plastic sleeve.
