This book presents full step-by-step instructions for the making of
early 17th-century men's clothes and accessories in a technically
accurate, visually exciting and easy-to-follow format. Twelve
garments - all historical pieces from the Victoria and Albert
Museum's collections - are featured: a suit, three doublets and a
cloak, as well as a felt hat, an embroidered nightcap and a plain
nightcap liner, a pasteboard picadil, a sword girdle and hangers, a
pair of mittens and a linen stocking. They have been analysed so
that every aspect of the pattern is exact. Scale patterns and
precise construction diagrams are accompanied by colour photography
of the whole garment as well as an abundance of informative details
and X-ray photographs that reveal the hidden structure of each
piece, showing the precise number of layers and the types of
stitches used inside. The methods and techniques of historical
tailoring and plain sewing are shown in detail. The authors have
some of the best historical tailoring skills in the world and have
worked with world-renowned institutions such as the Globe Theatre
in London, creating award-winning costumes for film, stage and
television. This book is a unique resource for costume and fashion
designers, fashion historians and students.
