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:-)
