Costume Ready?

Halloween approaches. Are you costume ready?

AMDA LA Library can help.

Perhaps a historic costume as described in Melissa Leventon’s What People Wore When? Or in Kretschmer & Karl Rohrbach’s Pictorial Encyclopedia of Historic Costume?

Or take inspiration from Blue Lantern Studio’s Masquerade?

Or find something fabulous in Joan Nunn’s Fashion in Costume, 1200-2000?

Or try for a more street-savvy look from Helena Chalmes’s Clothes, On and Off the Stage?

These and other fashion books are available on AMDA LA Library shelves today.
