Stunning book with so much detail. She describes the purpose for every small thing included in the costumes. It is clear she put in a lot of time researching these costumes and making them each unique. Seeing all the detail up close is a treat.

I thought this might be the book out of the three that I least liked because it was all about the costumes but I loved this book! It is a huge heavy slab of an encyclopedia, and it covers the book characters and the individual looks created for them. I had no idea that the costumes told such a story. After a colour scheme and selection of material were chosen for ie the people in the North, the designer then looked at each character. It was explained how for example Sansa began as the girl who wanted to be a princess and queen, dressing better than her sister then copying Cersei at King's Landing, wearing her hair in the southern style as she tried to be a lady. It then explains her changing costumes as her life goes through changes-the death of her family, learning from Littlefinger, marrying Ramsay, becoming Lady of Winterfell and Queen in the North. A story appears giving a reason for the dragonflies on her dress, every bead and piece of jewellery-every single stitch and clasp has a meaning and it was fascinating to read this for each character. I'll never look at the costumes the same way and I'm amazed at the amount of thought that went into each outfit.

1. This book is extremely beautiful.
2. The level of thoughtfulness and characterization lavished on every detail is a throughline from beginning to end that just makes me so happy to read about. People who make things are the best.

Stunning. Absorbing. Although by page 400, I was beginning to go into overload mode.
I scrutinized every pic, evaluating the costumes for aesthetic appeal and figuring out how it was created. I pretty quickly realized they were way beyond my neophyte skills to recreate, requiring insane amounts of embroidery. Also, they would all take more time than I'm willing to give to one costume.

Beautiful, beautiful book, full of detailed photos. True costume nerds/cosplayers will appreciate that they *show the backs* of most of the costumes!
A treat for the eyes whether you watched the show or not.
