Description

Tudor Fashion presents a captivating story of the people who made and wore the iconic clothing of the Tudor dynasty. The enduring popularity of the Tudors is partly due to the iconic portraits in which they are depicted, showcasing elaborate styles such as farthingales, ruffs, furs, and jewels. Fashion played a pivotal role in communicating status and power, and this book delves into the stories of unsung dressmakers, laundresses, and officials who maintained the immense Tudor wardrobes. Rare surviving garments and textiles, original documents, fine and decorative art, and archaeological findings are used to enhance our understanding of the Tudors and their courts. This sumptuously illustrated book contextualizes Tudor dress, filling in gaps in our knowledge of the period and its fascinating historical figures. Published in association with Historic Royal Palaces, Tudor Fashion offers a unique insight into the world of Tudor fashion.
