Textile Books...

I have decided to post a quick review of my top 10 textile books for you dolls as these have been extremely useful throughout uni whether it be developing/ learning new techniques, helping to write essays, general research for specific briefs or if your just looking for motivation/inspiration. After a few tweaks, my bookshelf is now able to just about fit my growing collection of textile books.
Top 10 (in no particular order) :
-V&A- 2 boxsets of famous patterns from the Victoria and Albert museum London -
-Coco Chanel - The legend and the life by Justine Picardie -
