My copy of the Tudor Tailor arrived on my desk from Amazon.com this morning. Only have time for a short look, but it is stunning with scale patterns that are easy to read and clear, lovely pics of comtempory illustrations, finished and underconstruction garments from the skin out for not just the rich, but for working class and merchant class as well. The section on headwear and how it make it alone is worth the price of the book.
Also included is a guide to choosing materials, a color sample of modern yarns dyed in reproduced dyes available in the 16th century. A book well worth waiting for.
