Book excerpt: A new Paper Studio Press book takes a turnabout look at eight decades of fashion. Historian and artist Brenda Sneathen Mattox has created this new view of paper dolls from the back, focusing on fashion's shifting shape from bustles in the 1880s to the extremes of the 1950s. Included also are hourglass gowns from the 1950s, flapper frocks from the 1920s, slinky barebacks of the 1930 and more. This collectible new book is sure to please fans of antique and vintage fashion. Two classic models turn their backs on Grand Entrances and instead make Grand Exits with 16 gowns that show how backwards glances reveal beautiful details, artfully rendered by the popular artist.
