This volume of style clues for fashion detectives weaves fascinating elements of social history into tales of how, why, and when fashions evolved. Hundreds of sequential illustrations highlight the style flourishes that identify garments for men, women, and children as products of their individual periods. The images are accompanied by highly readable -- and often humorous -- comments and explanations by author and illustrator Betty Kreisel Shubert. A noted fashion historian, Ms. Shubert is a columnist for Ancestry Magazine and has designed clothes and costumes for stage and screen as well as hotels, restaurants, and casinos all over the world.
Ranging decade by decade from the nineteenth through twentieth centuries, this book offers a simple way to date photographs and clothing. It also provides background that makes less-accessible histories of costume easier to understand. This second edition, enhanced with a selection of new photographs, offers a valuable resource for costumers, vintage fashion enthusiasts, social historians, genealogists, and collectors of nostalgia items. The easy-to-follow format makes it a great browsing book even for those who are unversed in fashion design and history.

"A great reference book. I can't wait to put it to use " -- Maureen Taylor, The Photo Detective

"Fascinating I couldn't put it down. The author shows how social development influenced how we dress. I would certainly include this book in my theater classes for its value to future costumers, directors, and actors." -- Allen M. Zeltzer, Professor of Theater, Emeritus, Cal-State University at Fullerton

Solid monitor choice
Size: 24-Inch
These monitors are awesome and at a great price also. I am a display gamer nerd. While im not using it for gaming I mention that because im picky and I test these things with measurement equipment. These are solid for the price.

Excellent Monitor for Work and Everyday Use
Size: 24-Inch
I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of this Amazon Basics 24-inch Full HD IPS Monitor. The 1080P resolution looks crisp and clear, and the IPS panel provides excellent color accuracy and wide viewing angles, making it great for both office work and everyday entertainment. The 75 Hz refresh rate gives everything a smoother feel compared to standard 60 Hz monitors, whether I’m browsing the web, working on documents, or watching videos. The screen size is perfect for a home office setup, offering plenty of workspace without taking up too much room on the desk. One feature I really appreciate is the adjustable stand. It’s easy to find a comfortable viewing position, which helps during long work sessions. The monitor also includes HDMI, DisplayPort, and VGA inputs, making it compatible with a wide range of devices. The VESA mounting option is another nice bonus for those who prefer a monitor arm or wall mount. The built-in speakers are convenient for everyday use, video calls, and casual media consumption, eliminating the need for separate speakers in many situations. While they won’t replace a dedicated sound system, they perform well for their intended purpose. Considering the image quality, connectivity options, adjustable stand, and included features, this monitor offers outstanding value for the money. It’s lightweight, easy to set up, and delivers reliable performance right out of the box. Overall, this is an excellent budget-friendly monitor that provides everything most users need for work, studying, browsing, and entertainment. Highly recommended.

Great Monitor
Size: 24-Inch
I was surprised by the quality of this monitor. Maybe it's because I'm used to my older monitor but this one is so clear and crisp. Does everything I needed it to do. Can't think of anything negative.

Great color. Great Price. Easy to install
Display Size: 24 Inches, Size: SE2426H, Style: AMD Freesync
I just needed a replacement monitor for daily desk use and wasn't interested in gaming, etc. so this fit my needs beautifully. The color is great and the picture is crisp. It was a breeze to install. Great, everyday monitor and super size for home office desks where you won't need a theatre sized monitor.
