No Lady Of Leisure- Working class dress for the Victorian era Book on CD
A new idea from Shooting Star- this book on CD was put together as a companion book to the class on www.costumeclassroom.com, but is very useable as a stand alone book. The information has been compiled into a PDF format that is readable with a free Adobe Acrobat download. As a special bonus, a slide show presentation of the dresses in Marna Jean's working woman collection is included- over 200 photos! In addition, there is no deciphering technological gibberish just to open files, because the CD automatically opens with an easy to use menu, shown below.
80 pages of hard to find information including period photos, quotations, illustrations and more! Covered are the working woman's home (wife and mother) and outside occupations(maids, nurses, businesswomen). Either the CD or the class can technically stand by itself - what you don't get from the cd is the thought provoking questions/discussion of class- but most of the basic text is the same- I have added a few more things and re-arranged some stuff on the CD so they aren't total duplicates of each other- and you get alot more photos of my dresses with the CD- not resized so you get more detail than I could do in class because of upload times.
