Victorian Fashions Coloring Book (Dover Fashion Coloring Book)

I had a bunch of these as a kid and I loved coloring them and learning about what I was coloring. It is a great hands on learning tool. This is a christmas gift for a 12 year old who I don't know very well, so I don't know yet if she will like it the way I did when I was her age. I think the coloring skill level is a nice in-between of kids coloring books and adult coloring books. You definatly want to use colored pencils, though as crayons wouldn't be quite small enough for the details.

This books is beautiful. The outfits are so much fun to color. I ordered these for my 95 year old mother and she is enjoying coloring these ladies and their dresses.

Recommend for an adult who colors, but could be used for a mature 9 yrs old. There are 45 pages of back-to-back opulent dress designs. Not as intricate as other coloring books ( Japanese Kimono Designs by Dover). Lots of billowing costumes, Might be able to use crayons, but I only use colored pencils. Paper fairly smooth. It's a challenge to come up with different color combinations, which I like. The billowing in the dresses have black lines to indicate folds, which I find a bit distracting, which is why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. I enjoyed this book, it is one of my favorites

Incredible information and detail. I was going to give to my seven year old granddaughter but have decided to wait until she is older so she can appreciate the information. I learned a lot and would recommend to anyone interested in historical fashion. I also got the Late Victorian and Edwardian Fashion Coloring books and it has the same quality. Although they are coloring books, don't let that dissuade you from buying these for adults.

I love that it's easy to color

This book was a gift for my teenage daughter, she loves it. She's very interested in fashion, so the little explanatory paragraphs about the dresses are nice. This is appropriate for older kids and adults, the pictures are very detailed. The book itself is printed on a nice paper, my daughter prefers colored pencils, don't know how it would work out with markers. I will be getting her some more, she really likes these.

I purchase many of these type coloring books for my elderly mother. She especially loves the books that have pictures of people or fashion in them -so needless to say this is a book she loves to spend time coloring in. The pictures are detailed enough to make in challenging without being too hard on the eyes.

There are beautiful dresses in this book but it's full of a bunch of lines in the coloring area. They don't seem to really serve any purpose and make it difficult to color the page

bellissime immagini e ottima qualità

ブライダル、イヴニング、散歩着、部屋着や海浜着など、ヴィクトリア時代を舞台に様々なドレスが豪華に展開されています。４５枚のぬりえに、表紙も合わせて５枚のカラーの手本が載っています。 全部ではありませんが、塗り絵の下に色の指定が記載されています。 ヴィクトリア時代の衣装に興味がある人は、線画とはいえ有用な、かつ値段のお手頃な資料になりましょうから、入手してもよいと思います。ドレス姿の女性に紛れて量は多くないものの、男性や子供の姿も本の中に散見できます。 ただし、タッチが粗くて線が所々掠れていたり、描き殴ったようになっていたりして、色を塗っていて気分が削がれます。日本人の感覚からすればでしょうか、一言で言えば「雑な絵」という印象を受けました。 塗り絵をする人の事を考えて描かれているのかが、疑問です。 これが作者の作風だと言われればそれまでですが、もう少し丁寧な筆使いであったならば、塗っていてもっと楽しかっただろうというのが、正直な感想です。

Good quality i didn’t expect it to be this big it’s almost like an A4 size , clear lines & well done sketches.

Muy bonito para colorear.

I really like Tom Tierney`s style and this is a great book. You find fashions from 1830 to 1877, which was the time where Queen Victoria had the greatest influence in fashion. There are wonderful evening dresses, visiting and at-home gowns, even clothes for men and children and many more. The pictures are very good with many details. If you like victorian fashion, this book is a must-have. You learn a lot about colours and style at this era. It`s really great!
