This handbook illustrates and describes the dominant male and female costume silhouettes for major historical periods ranging from Egyptian dynasties through to the 1960s. It demonstrates how to draw a well-proportioned human body and understand the differences in fit between historical and contemporary clothing. It also addresses how to understand the value, saturation and relativity of colour, and how to develop a portfolio.
