Vintage Costume Inspirations: A Retro Look Book Featuring Over 100 Mid-Century Costume Illustrations (Vintage Lifestyle)

Product Description

Vintage Costume Inspiration is full of wildly creative pictures and ideas. Most of the images in this book are from mid-century French and German costume magazines and catalogs. This book has everything, from costumes that will challenge even the most serious crafters, to simple and striking details for more casual creators. 
A great costume can often come from a simple idea. Therefore, Laughing Elephant has selected images that capture some of those wonderful costumes and compiled them in this book to spark the imaginations of parents and children alike. A few of the best and most whimsical ideas include: an artist’s palette (complete with paintbrush hat!), a carrot, a box of chocolate, a telephone, and even an alluring version of a high-tension wire.
These costumes are beautifully illustrated and sure to ignite your child’s imagination. Have the most original costume at the next Halloween party with our retro costume look book!
