Item Tag 1996

Burdensome bustles went out, thong bikinis came in. The Twentieth Century saw radical—and liberating—changes in American women's fashion. This tiny volume chronicles those changes: a hundred year odyssey that resulted in fashion freedom for the American woman. Designed to emulate the best of traditional, full-sized books, the fashions of classic bookmaking—full-color throughout, stylized endpapers, fine quality paper, full-length text, and Smyth-sewn binding—are represented in this tiny two inch tall volume. Illustrated with copious full color miniature plates, 128 pages, just over one-half inch thick, weighs about one ounce. Brand new, never read or used, same condition as from the manufacturer. Makes a great gift to anyone who loves fashion or books; with its tiny size, just over two inches tall, fits handily in a stocking. And it also fits quite well in even a small purse or carry-on.
