Descriere
Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
How can the cut of a 19th century gown control its shape? Can you re-create a historic profile from a contemporary mannequin? How can paintings help you analyse historic silhouettes and the corsets and petticoats worn underneath?
Conservation and historic dress display specialist Janet Wood will help you answer all these questions. You'll learn how historic garments can be safely handled and shown to best effect, with insight into the characteristic features of each piece and how to translate them from the garment to a display support.
Concentrating on Western women's wear from 1750-1950, and with over 250 colour images, plus drawings and charts, you'll learn how to interpret an individual garment's display needs and create safe, appropriate display forms.

Recenzii
With concise language and simple visual guides, Janet Wood takes practitioners working with textiles and dress on a journey that demystifies and makes accessible effective methods for the interpretation and display of garments. Through appreciation for the fall of a sleeve, the heft of a box pleat and a rigorous analysis of underpinning, Wood deftly and creatively guides the novice (with reminders for the skilled) through garment mounting solutions, bringing clothes to life in a sympathetic way.
Full of insight and practical guidance expressed clearly and visually, I can't imagine a museum curator with a dress collection or a conservator who works with garments who would not want this on their bookshelves.
Anyone who's had the pleasure of working with Janet Wood while she brings historic clothing back to life with a light and seemingly magic touch will cheer the fact she's now shared her expertise in a book. Janet's decades of experience are distilled into an easy-to-use reference guide that makes her wealth of knowledge widely available. The practical skills, tips and tricks of costume mounting processes explained in Creating the Perfect Form make it an essential handbook for putting dress on display beautifully.
Janet Wood has managed to skilfully combine every bit of her extensive experience as a fashion designer, pattern cutter, costume conservator and specialist historic costume mounter into one beautifully simple, invaluable book. I cannot recommend this book highly enough and would suggest every student and professional in the field has their own reference copy.
A balanced approach to mounting that gives users the means to understand and work with historical dress in all settings ... This field is one that most must work in for some time to achieve a depth of understanding and experience, and Wood's publication will be one which learners and professionals will want to accompany them in the occupation of costume mounting.
