Description: I am very happy and excited to offer to you this very rare book chock full of the most wonderful actual fabric samples, pasted in place. From Topmost Fashions, dated for the Fall Season of 1938, it is a whopping 11x14.5, and has 162 pages. Cloth bound, with paper paste labels. Cover lightly rubbed with darkening, the cloth spine has some splitting at the top and bottom, still holding and functional. The pages are toned and the fabrics on some pages caused offsetting on the opposite page, overall quite good for a book of this type. Acquired in a small Missouri town, this is the type of book a traveling salesman would show to shop owners, and would take their orders. I can just imagine the buyers flipping through the pages, feeling the fabrics, and making their choices! Every page is covered with samples front and back. Decorators, designers, quilters, historic re-creators, and anyone who simply LOVES old fabrics will be delighted with this book. It would also make a FABULOUS gift!! Many styles of prints are included, florals galore, stripes, many types of polka dots, splashy large florals, tiny neat prints of many types, juveniles, ethnic, checks, etc. As you can see from the photos, the samples range in size from small triangles to large squares, several are even full page. Great piece of fashion history for the time period. Item will ship from Kansas within 48hrs thanks for looking!
