Making Working Women's Costume gives a unique account of the
clothes of ordinary women from the mid-fifteenth century to the
early twentieth century. As well as introducing the historical
periods, it gives patterns for a range of typical garments that
women of the poorer classes would have worn. Organized by century,
it draws on historical sources and finds, paintings and photographs
to recreate the clothes of these under-celebrated women.
