The Fairchild Dictionary of Fashion, 3rd Edition defines more than 15,000 fashion terms, including apparel, accessories, and their components; historical and textile terms that relate to contemporary fashion; and the language of the fashion business. Its organization of 51 broad categories, such as activewear, blouses and tops, clothing, construction details, footwear, headwear, jewelry, laces, necklines, shirts, skirts, and waistlines, promotes comprehension of related terms. Categories are fully cross-referenced to the alphabetical listing. Includes terms not readily found in ordinary dictionaries and pronunciation guides for foreign words. An appendix of designers includes emerging leaders. Lavish illustrations by Bina Abling enhance definitions, capturing both the details and style of fashion. Labeled anatomical drawings show how the parts of fashion items fit together. Alphabetical page tabs add to the ease of use. This dictionary is the ideal reference for designers, fashion media, instructors, students, historians, and fashion enthusiasts. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - excellent resource for fashion termsThis is an excellent source for fashion terms. However, it would be better if it had more diagrams and drawings for the terms. It is not for a beginner. Rating:  - An Invaluable Guide to Fashion!As an online clothing seller, particularly of womens plus-size vintage, this book has been an invaluable guide to a multitude of terms, styles, and fabrics. It has saved me hours of research. My only complaint is that if you don't know the name of what you are looking for, it can take a bit of time to find the definition. Otherwise, five stars! Rating: - Good referenceIt's a good reference book when you need information fast. The book is set up that way. It's a wealth of information Rating: - Crisp, clear, and incredibly helpfulThis is the ultimate resource for a student of costume and fashion design, the key for readers of all levels to decode the jargon that fills this profession's books. The organization is impeccable, the language clear and concise, and the rare but sufficient pictures are crisply adept at illustrating the necessary word or concept. It covers everything from names of period pieces, accessories, and undergarments to modern terms in the fashion world. It has everything you'd need. Rating: - A great resource!A thorough, detail-packed reference book that's invaluable for anyone connected with the fashion industry. We have found it to be the best "first place to turn" for terms and descriptions that add insight and excitement to the marketing messages we create for our fashion clients.
