Claire ★★★★★

The detailed analysis of rococo fashion in the court of Louis XV is exactly what I needed for my research project. The plates showing fabric patterns from the 1740s are beautifully reproduced and easy to study.

Steven S. ★★★★★

The chapters on rococo ornament and Enlightenment ideas actually connect the aesthetic to the philosophy, which I didn't expect from a fashion book. I've gone back to the Versailles sections twice now just to study the court details.

Jacob A. ★★★★★

The plates on Versailles and Marie-Antoinette's court fashion are stunning, and the text actually explains how Enlightenment ideas shaped the rococo look instead of just showing pictures. I've flipped through it twice already just for the costume details.
