Ladies' Vintage Accessories is a comprehensive book covering the accessories that women have used over the past 150 years, some pieces dating back even earlier to 1820 such as the parasol from the Jackson-Decatur Debates. A glimpse into the closets and trunks of author LaRee Johnson Bruton, a private collector for over 30 years, reveals the hats, purses, hankies, gloves, fans, parasols, hosiery, shoes, aprons, and capes that completed a ladies' ensemble from the past. This book is a compelling photo-study of the styles for each era--Victorian, Edwardian, Roaring Twenties, Depression,WWII, Fabulous Fifties to Modern ---and an indispensible identification and value guide for the vintage enthusiast or collector. Revel in nostalgia while reading this lovely tribute to ladies' fashion accessories.
