Description
Reconstructing Sixteenth-Century Dress is a valuable sourcebook for those involved in costume design, dressmaking, and historical reenactments. The book provides computer-generated, historically accurate patterns for creating a wide range of Tudor garments, including doublets, hose, bodices, skirts, hats, and headdresses. This comprehensive guide also covers decoration and embellishment techniques, such as ruffs, cuffs, collars, embroidery, and other surface decoration. The book represents the full range of Tudor society, from lower- and middle-class clothing to the more sumptuous costumes from the courts of Henry VIII and Elizabeth I. Detailed drawings and information on historical context, including original paintings and source material, provide a rich understanding of the period. Additionally, the book includes guidance on how to store and look after your finished clothing.
