The Cut of Women’s Clothes 1600-1930 by Norah Waugh – Hardcover 5th Print (1985)
This is a large, hardcover edition (fifth reprint, 1985) of The Cut of Women’s Clothes 1600-1930 by Norah Waugh. It’s 40 years old! This book and dustcover are in good condition, but not ‘like new’ or collector’s quality. There is some slight wear at the top of the dustjacket, <1 inch of pen marking on spine, and the previous owner's signature inside. The book itself is in wonderful condition, and if it weren't for the three issues just mentioned, it would be listed as 'like new.' This book is from the private library of a deceased fiber and fashion artist. It was acquired by her in person shortly after publication in 1985 and used in her graduate research. It's been in high quality storage for nearly three decades, untouched.
