This new edition extends its range with additional details on fitting different figures and more patterns for main garments and accessories from 1100 to 1480. It covers simple instructions for plain garments, as well as more complex patterns and adaptations for experienced sewers. The book includes advice on planning outfits and materials to use, a range of projects and alternative designs, and covers early and later tailoring methods within the period. Clear line drawings, pattern diagrams, and layouts are accompanied by over eighty full colour photographs that show the garments as working outfits. With 151 patterns and a wealth of historical information, this guide is an essential resource for anyone interested in historical interpretation or drama.
