100 Dresses: The Costume Institute / The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Interesting, quick read. The book features 100 dresses, each in a 2 page spread. One page is the photo of the dress. The other page contains a short description/background and sometimes a related photo or piece of art.
The textiles span from the 1700s to the present. The designers appear to be (at a quick glance) English, British, French, Italian, and Japanese.
Most of the dresses are evening/formal wear. There are some more casual dresses.
It's a look at beautiful fabrics, incredible detailing, and a shifting silhouette.
