Empire Fashions3
I wasn't aware that this was a coloring book. Otherwise, it is a decent period overview much like Tom Tierney's other books. It could be useful to costume students looking for base illustrations to adapt.

must have5
I just purchased these Dover COloring Books for my mother and she loves them. The detail is out of this world and the variety of colors you can use are only limited by your inagination. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Detailed illustrations5
I guess this is one of the best Tom Tierney's fashion history coloring books. Drawings are really well done and details are clear. Unlike some other Tierney's illustrations, these don't make an impression that they were drawn too quickly.

Pages are thick enough for gentle watercoloring.

The book contains 45 fashion illustrations from 1789 to 1815, including military dresses, Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte and Empress Josephine, 4 outfits for children, special 4-page section of hairstyles, hats and fashion accessories, and much more.

Buy it and enjoy!
