{"product_id":"the-showgirl-costume-jane-merrill-9781476671741","title":"The Showgirl Costume: An Illustrated History","description":"\u003cp\u003e Fashion is synonymous with change yet the iconic showgirl costume--feathers, sparkle and revealing clothes--has remained largely unchanged since the early 20th century. Beginning in the 1800s, a couture of the risque evolved from Paris nightclubs to Las Vegas casinos. The concept of glamour itself was based on what Parisian courtesans and burlesque performers wore. A tall pretty girl with headdress, nude core with spangles, high heels and dramatic makeup became a Gallic symbol and later the trademark of Hollywood musicals. France exported costumes and millinery--as well as whole productions from the Moulin Rouge, the Lido and Folies Bergere --to the U.S. and the world. More recently, cabaret styling has translated into today's day, sport and evening clothes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jane Merrill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1476671745\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781476671741\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/17\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 291\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.90h x 6.90w x 0.70d","brand":"Jane Merrill","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43935546245375,"sku":"9781476671741","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_7e6041d9-0664-4a5d-8248-52b35639ff96.jpg?v=1681420426","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-showgirl-costume-jane-merrill-9781476671741","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
