Does anyone of you know any good sources (books
or websites) on peasant and lower-class clothing
in the 16th or 17th century? All books say lots
and lots about court and aristocratic dresses,
but no one obviously cares about peasants. The
only thing I could find seems to be completely unavailable:
Well-Dressed Peasant: 16th Century
Flemish Workingwomen's Dress Temp out of stock
Drea Leed. Author describes her research
into various aspects of the garments, then
details construction, including very simple
patterns. Tr pb, saddle-stapled, 76pp. Color
covers & inside covers, 4 color
interior plates, numerous b/w photos of
period art showing working women's
garments. Notes, pictography & bibliography,
plus appendices on making a bodice pattern,
fabric sources. Costume & Dressmaker Press
So do you know anything like this? Any hints will be very useful to me:-)
Have you tried "The Tudor Tailor" ? http://www.tudortailor.com/
