There is a wonderful book by the Cunningtons which I believe is out of

I'd like to find living, currently active, working scholars. There seems
to be a gap here in current work :-(

She's the lady doing the Tudor Tailor book. Those who've seen advanced
copies proclaim it better than Janet Arnold's work.

I did one of the proof reads of this book, and in my opinion it is
not "better" but "different". The patterns are not taken from
original garments as were Janet Arnold's, but based on considerable
research and practical use. The text is comprehensive and detailed.
The book will be a great addition to the current range.
