Skirts became shorter and shorter until in 1965 they culminated in the mini. This book is part of a series charting the development of women's and men's clothing from 1900 onwards.

But this is very good reference book for designers and vintage buyers who want to know about some general aspects of female 1960's clothes. The author orders the book by specific year, which is helpful to get further understanding of 1960's clothing.. "Four Stars" according to Oriana S.. Great illustrations.. donat-studio@cwix.com said This book runs a fine line between really bad & okay ref.. I was extremely disapointed after viewing this book. The illustrations are so bad, it's hard to look past it to see the clothing design. I wish the author would have hired an experienced fashion illustrator to compose the drawings in a sketching style of the time1960's. I do have to give the author credit for the layout of the design progression per year. The book did contain many design references/illustrations for accessores. This is rare, as there are not many accessory design referece books.last words; Okay reference for the 60's era of clothing & accessory design resource, but horrific illustration!!!m donat fashion designer
