Clothes of the Common People in Elizabethan and Early Stuart England Vol 11: Doublets Pt 2: Male Petticoats and Male Waistcoats

Description

Author:
Stuart Press.
Summary:
In addition to information on surviving doublets and general information on male waistcoats and petticoats this volume provides the best guess, based on the data in the series, on how to reproduce doublets and waistcoats. It was decided that there is insufficient information to enable a meaningful reconstruction to be made of a male petticoat.

In this series of books reconstructions are made for a range of styles of each garment. The fabrics and materials closest to the originals still available have been used and all dyeing is with period dyestuffs using period methods, mostly at the reconstructed period dyehouse in the Green Valley.

For each reconstruction patterns are provided. A description of the fabrics used and photographs of the completed reconstructions are also included.
