This was such a gorgeous book!
This book explores Palace Costume, a costume rental house that specializes in vintage clothes. The first part featured interviews with the founder and numerous costume designers. The interviews were very insightful and were a fun way to tell the history of the Palace Costume. The rest of the book showed pictures of the clothes.

Very good. Very detailed but sometimes the details got bogged down and I felt like the author was try to hard to include everything in this guide. Learnt a lot about the Regency period.
