Presenting the complete picture of the Victorian and Edwardian collections housed at The Kent State Museum has been a work in progress for Martha Pullen. She knew when she first dug into the archives to select pieces for her Favorite Places Series of books that a single edition would never be able to contain the treasures held within. Introducing The Kent State Museum, Volume II – a glorious compilation of children and women’s clothing that covers more than 100 years in fashion and sewing, from an 1820s ball gown worn at the height of the Romantic period to a sweet smocked party frock from 1934. Together with two embroidery CD’s featuring over 80 designs reproduced from the actual garments and antique line art, this full-color book is the perfect companion to The Kent State Museum, Volume I and uses authentic period clothing to inspire heirloom sewing for generations to come. Hardback, 144 pages. No patterns or instructions included.
