Mikhaila, Ninya and Malcolm-Davies, Jane - The Tudor Tailor~Reconstructing Sixteenth-Century Dress

Meticulously researched, The Tudor Tailor is a valuable resource for for serious researchers, costume designers, dressmakers and anyone involved with period reenactments. The book contains detailed period information, well-illustrated patterns with suggestions for modifying them, and information on the care and storage of finished garments. While the instructions presume sewing knowledge and experience--definitely not for beginners, they provide an extensive range of clothing, too, from underwear to elaborate headdresses.
