The Art of Disney Costuming: Heroes, Villains, and Spaces Between (Disney Editions Deluxe) Hardcover – September 17, 2019

While I added this lovely title to my Disneyland library simply because it's cover perked my interest, I am happy I did.First, the presentation of the project was done with style and flair! This project at least in my mind, is completely worthy of a volume featuring fantasy couture.From coffee-table sized, replete with beautiful end-papers and fonts, most are accompanied by simply stunning photographs.Never in a million years would I have believed I would have...in one sitting read a book such as this in two hours! And found it truly a fantastic read...even for a guy!The most interesting and meaningful insight I have is to convey the many times that I immediately recognized the costumers talents. By material, buttons and snaps alone, on stylized mannequins the actors faces and bodies we're "seen" as clearly as if they we're wearing them! Now that is some talented seamstress-try (is that a word?) Like I said...."for a guy"NOTE: A couple of reviews deducted stars due to the condition of the cover. May I say it is a VERY thick stock used and that fact coupled with the size of the volume and the use of an automated loader makes it difficult to place tightly. If you just remove the cover nad carefully use a paper folder/bone and press the creases to a sharp crease before replacing it on the book you will see that it will lay perfectly and snuggly on top and bottom and rectify the issues...enjoy!A fine addition.

It's a well illustrated book with closeups of costumes. Not all Disney live action costumes are included but the major players are shown.

The book is the PERFECT gift any fashion designer, costumer, or seamstress friends! The book is a large statement piece, which works out in capturing some of the gorgeous detail in the costumes. Interesting little stories and a great insight into the characters represented. Incredible coffee table book that catches the eye of both adults and kids alike!

This book shows Disney costumes from a variety of Disney movies and tv shows. It is filled with full page photos and pictures of details which you could never see on screen. It is far from comprehensive - that would require many, many volumes to cover. They show various versions of Cinderella's iconic blue dress from different live action shows and costumes from Hocus Pocus, Prince of Persia, Sorcerer's Apprentice, others - not just the big films. I hope they make a volume 2. I would love to see more photos of the amazing work Disney designers create for our viewing pleasure.

This book is gorgeous and looks great on my coffee table. It is organized strangely with the prologue coming before the table of contents and countless pages dedicated to index. Regardless, I bought the book to look beautiful on my coffee table and it serves its purpose well. I will note, my book came dirty and just thrown in a box. Like other reviewers, I’m pretty disappointed with the handling of books bought on Amazon but that shouldn’t take a star away from the book itself. It should take a star away from Amazon’s packaging standards!

The book inside is gorgeous. Has many detailed photos of the outfits.Amazon shipped this in a big box with some padding but the dust jacket of the book was dirty and bent on the sides from being rattled around during shipping.

I got this book as a gift for my daughter who every year makes a Disney villian costume for Halloween. This is a cool book about both the hero and villian costumes. I wish it talked more about the animated costume designs, it really only talks about the live-action costume designs. Great pictures and great close-ups on the details of the outfits!

This book for my 22 year old niece and recent college grad/community theater wardrobe expert; was the perfect Christmas present because it included the best of her favorite interests. Disney and Costumes. She loves browsing through the pages for inspiration and reading about the history behind each costume.
