Description
"In this nostalgia-packed celebration of textile design during its riotous midcentury years, over 170 striking full-color photographs accompanied by a lively text and detailed captions document the bold new patterns and unprecedented color combinations that had taken over American décor. ... Organized by pattern-type into ten chapters, Fabulous Fabrics also covers the floral prints and Hollywood-inspired satins of the 30s and the vivid tropical and nautical designs of the 40s." -- PUBLISHER
