Have you read "Calico Chronicle"?

[Millie Fillmore]

If you have read the book "Calico Chronicle", I would very much appreciate your opinions on the dating of the photographed clothing:

"Calico Chronicle: Texas Women and Their Fashions 1830-1910" by Betty J. Mills, Texas Tech Press, Lubbock, TX, 1985.

Thanks!

Re: Have you read "Calico Chronicle"?

Katie,

I have this book, but it has been on my bookshelf for quite a while. My impressions are that it has good information in the text, but the dating of the clothing illustrated is somewhat questionable. This is not my area of expertise, but I would rate the book as an above average sudy of 19th century women's clothing.
