xForties and Fifties Fashion for the Stage: with Patterns from Vintage Clothing provides instruction on how to recreate fashion from the 1940s and 1950s that withstands the vigorous demands of theatrical stage use.

Both men's and women's fashions and patterns are featured, including formal and casual wear.
