This volume of style clues for fashion detectives weaves fascinating elements of social history into tales of how, why, and when fashions evolved. Hundreds of sequential illustrations highlight the style flourishes that identify garments for men, women, and children as products of their individual periods. The images are accompanied by highly readable -- and often humorous -- comments and explanations by author and illustrator Betty Kreisel Shubert. A noted fashion historian, Ms. Shubert is a columnist for Ancestry Magazine and has designed clothes and costumes for stage and screen as well as hotels, restaurants, and casinos all over the world.
Ranging decade by decade from the nineteenth through twentieth centuries, this book offers a simple way to date photographs and clothing. It also provides background that makes less-accessible histories of costume easier to understand. This second edition, enhanced with a selection of new photographs, offers a valuable resource for costumers, vintage fashion enthusiasts, social historians, genealogists, and collectors of nostalgia items. The easy-to-follow format makes it a great browsing book even for those who are unversed in fashion design and history.

"A great reference book. I can't wait to put it to use " -- Maureen Taylor, The Photo Detective

"Fascinating I couldn't put it down. The author shows how social development influenced how we dress. I would certainly include this book in my theater classes for its value to future costumers, directors, and actors." -- Allen M. Zeltzer, Professor of Theater, Emeritus, Cal-State University at Fullerton

Pups all time FAVORITE!
Color: Dim Sum Dumpling Pet Toy Set
Our pups FAVORITE “ball”. He’s obsessed and has a blast with these little dumplings. Small size toy, but our medium labradoodle loooves them. Not to loud of an squaek either. They last quite awhile before he pops the squeaker. Fabric holds up really well.

Great squeaky fetch toy for small dogs
Color: Dim Sum Dumpling Pet Toy Set
My dog loves these little squeaky dumpling toys. They are the right size for small dogs (under 20 pounds) to chase and fetch, and they have good squeakers inside. They have a friendly look and my dog can fit them in her mouth.

Cute toy for small dogs!
Color: Pinata Dog Toy
My dog is obsessed with this toy. This does not have a squeaker in it which is great cuz she doesnt like them. The crinkles and rope seem very durable. She did eat the tail very quickly but overall its held up well! Great tug toy for a small dog or puppy!
