Very Helpful with many facts about costumes Dr. Phyllis Bell Miller This book is very helpful for getting basic details of folk and dance costumes from throughout the world. There are colored sketches of most costumes, but a few more would be helpful. They describe many things that are not illustrated, yet sometimes illustrate items for which there are scant descriptions. Unfortunamtely, however, there are no costumes from most of Africa. This is a serious omissi. Five Stars NJ_shopper great read! love it!. Moema said Rather folk costumes of Europe than of the world. I'm very interested in folk costumes and found this book informative with beautiful illustrations, BUTit's not, as it claims, a book of folk costumes of the world.Europe (where I live) is shown thoroughly, with examples of costumes even from islands like Sicily, Madeira and Tenerife, while there are not very many costumes from Asia. Africa is represented only by some costumes from North Africa an
