This is so wonderful!

One of the funnest things about vintage books is the way they will classify certain categories of people and help them with their look, hairstyles for face shapes, types of fabric for certain figures! It's so much fun! Thanks bundles for sharing this with us! (I secretly would wanna take a peek at so my more! My type would be interesting to read about!)
Thanks, you fellas're always welcome with great stuff like this!

Wow. That book is absouletly brilliant. I collect vintage and antiquitarian books (especially dealing with dress, costume, and fashion), so you certainly have found a huge fan in me. I have to add that to my Ebay searches now...

Thank you so much for sharing those gorgeous color plates!!
What is the artist?

No mention of the artist I could find, and it's a 1927 limited edition from a store called Bebarfald's in Sydney, I found one copy at an online bookseller for 200 bux in a lot worse condition than this one, but never seen it on ebay, I debated ebaying it, but figured it was too obscure and wouldn't get the right price, which can often happen with vintage clothing-related stuff over here.

You might do well on Amazon. I've sold a book through there and bought several used books. If I had the 200 bucks I'd buy it from you myself! But it would be a shame to part with such a beauty!

I picked up a book called "Dogs in Life" from an estate sale, did a search for it on the internet, and found a buyer randomly with a website of books he wanted who paid me $300 for it. Best turn around I ever did. Maybe the same thing could happen to you!
