Resources for Review:
We seek reviewers for the following resources. The snippets below are taken from each resource’s web page and are not necessarily the opinions of the M&T Reviews Co-Editors.
Bloomsbury Dress and Costume Library
https://www.bloomsburyfashioncentral.com/about-bloomsbury-dress-and-costume-library
Released in 2023, this resource joins other Bloomsbury Fashion Central content. The Dress and Costume Library is described by the publisher as “the first comprehensive online collection for the interdisciplinary study of dress and costume history, design, and making.” Resources include the Bloomsbury Encyclopedia of Film and Television Costume Design, over 60 e-books, articles, and garment study videos. (MTR editors can arrange for temporary access to this subscription-based resource).
Fashion Calendar

From 1941 to 2014, Ruth Finley published the Fashion Calendar, an independent, weekly periodical that served as the official scheduling clearinghouse for the American fashion industry. Digitized by the Fashion Institute of Technology with a CLIR grant, the back issues of the Fashion Calendar are now searchable, graphable and mappable.
