Dress no Nurie Zukan(Japanese)

A coloring book on the history of women's dress, covering Western dresses and Japanese kimono as they changed over time. It was supervised by Yuka Koda, a professor at Baika Women's University who specializes in costume history. The text is in Japanese. Each spread has a colored sample on the left page and the same picture to color on the right. The original samples were drawn in colored pencil and show the texture and shine of the fabrics. The dresses are grouped by period: Gothic (cotehardie, escoffion, houppelande, hennin), Renaissance (gable hood, French hood, slashing, hanging sleeves, farthingale, Medici collar), Baroque (ruff, virago sleeves, falling band collar, fontange), Rococo (mantua, robe volante, robe a la francaise, robe a l'anglaise, robe a la polonaise, chemise a la reine), Napoleonic Empire (Empire dress, redingote, spencer), Victorian (crinoline dress, bustle dress, princess line, leg-of-mutton sleeves) and Belle Epoque (Art Nouveau style). The kimono section covers raifuku court dress, karaginumo and uchikake.

Translated from the Japanese original.
