    More of the same
  

*by C***Y on Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2013*

I originally purchased the first edition about 10 years ago and have based MANY of my patterns on the beautiful drawing represented here. If you already own the first edition this second collection book isn't entirely necessary. However, if you are trying to decide between the first and the second...go with the second. It is gorgeously detailed and DOES have a quantity of new items, but I would say most of the book was a repeat of what I already had. P.S. There aren't any ACTUAL patterns supplied with either book. It does list the pattern numbers should you want to try and find a copy the info is there, but the book is strictly the scans of the fronts of sewing patterns of the 1940's.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Wonderful source reference!
  

*by S***E on Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2010*

The front chapter gives a history of pattern companies, how the small ones started and eventually merged into Simplicity, McCalls and Butterick.  Also includes history on styles that were popular in the early '40s and how WWII affected these styles and the home sewing industry.  The majority of the book is pattern covers.  This is a valuable source for anyone who has vintage patterns and would like to date them.  Or for someone who is trying to sew vintage from new patterns. If you're using new basic patterns, it's possible to recreate sleeves, hemlines, pockets, and other details to make the garment look vintage.  Great inspiration!!  Highly recommended for anyone interested in the 1940s!!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Great book
  

*by P***F on Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2014*

As a costumer, this is a wonderful resource. It is very well organized and provided a good bit of knowledge that I was unaware of. It gives great visual context to style creation as well as recreation for any who like to try their hand at developing a pattern or two. As a collector of vintage patterns, it helped me 'place' some pieces in their correct era as well as gave me confirmation of accuracy for several others. I am planning on getting the other books in this series hoping that they are equally useful.
