It's about women's fashion in the 20th century and includes accessories. There are beautiful pictures of items on people, mannequins, and closeups of textiles and embellishments. It's organized by decade and also by trend through the decades such as FLORAL.

SO hard to choose, but I think you'd love the Dries Van Noten book--it's the catalog to a show at the Musee des Arts Decoratifs in Paris. He chose items from the museum to pair with his collections. Stunning. Bang for buck: the book featuring all of Lagerfeld's runway shows for Chanel.

I have a book on Madeleine Vionnet (queen of the bias cut), which is gorgeous, and is particularly appealing for sewists because they actually show patterns for 30+ of the dresses. It's really fascinating to see how those dresses are constructed. And I think it's not *terribly* expensive as far as pretty large-format books go.
