The Folkwear Book Of Ethnic Clothing by Mary S Parker is a richly illustrated 2003 paperback that walks fashion lovers, designers and cultural historians through the stories sewn into garments from around the world. Parker pairs concise text with detailed drawings to show how cut, color and fabric carry identity across continents.

This 155-page reference guide belongs on the shelf of anyone who sews, teaches or collects global dress. Inside you’ll find ready-to-adapt patterns, textile notes and cultural context that turn sewing projects into mini-lessons in world history.

The used copy shows gentle wear: cover scuffs and light page creases speak of browsing inspiration, while a tight binding keeps every illustration crisp. A few margin marks appear only on the closing pages, leaving the bulk of the book clean and usable.

Perfect for young adults, cosplayers or home sewists hunting ethnic clothing patterns, this affordable edition offers big creative value despite its shelf miles.
