Henry VIII used his wardrobe, and that of his family and household,
as a way of expressing his wealth and magnificence. This book
encompasses the first detailed study of male and female dress worn
at the court of Henry VIII (1509-47) and covers the dress of the
king and his immediate family, the royal household and the broader
court circle. As none of Henry VIII's clothes survive, evidence is
drawn primarily from the great wardrobe accounts, wardrobe
warrants, and inventories, and is interpreted using evidence from
narrative sources, paintings, drawings and a small selection of
contemporary garments, mainly from European collections. Key areas
for consideration include the king's personal wardrobe, how Henry
VIII's queens used their clothes to define their status, the
textiles provided for the pattern of royal coronations, marriages
and funerals and the role of the great wardrobe. In addition there
is information on the cut and construction of garments, materials
and colors, dress given as gifts, the function of livery and the
hierarchy of dress within the royal household.
