D is for Drawings

I just finished a wonderful book titled The Time-Traveling Fashionista(review here), and what startled me the most when I picked it up was the fact it contained pictures. At first I though, "Am I really going to read a picture book," but even with my doubts I did start to read it. When I hit the first picture I realized that they weren't full scene pictures but instead pictures of clothing that the characters were wearing. As the book progressed so did my rapid interest in the illustrations. Not only were they beautiful but they tied together the book so well I really can't wait to read the next book. 




Below are several pictues that were in the book, that I grabbed from Poppy's site and Amazon:












 In the book the pictures were full, but the only copies I could find cut off half of the image. 




What is your opinion? If you've read The Time-Traveling Fashionista (which I recommend you do), are the pictures good for the book? If you haven't read the book please tell me what you think or if there is another book like it with illustrations.
