DRESS SENSE
CLOTHES OF THE MEDIEVAL WORLD

From the earliest times, people wore clothes not only for warmth and comfort, but to show their position in society or simply to look good and attract a partner.

CLOTHES OF THE MEDIEVAL WORLD looks at how fashions changed as trade, travel and inventions opened societies to new influences and a greater choice of fabrics and styles. From stately royal robes to simple tunics and leggings, stunning, detailed artwork on every page recreates the clothes worn in medieval times.

Mailed today - enjoy!

Your huge box of books made it here today, totally undoing the lowering of my TBR pile that I had done over the last two months ;P

I'm looking forwards to exploring these books as there are some fantastic looking ones in the bunch.

As a person who has had an interest in costuming and clothing of the medieval times since a brief involvment with the SCA in college I was very amused by this book. It covers various clothing styles and the countries that wore them. The illustrations were very good, and the facts were presented in a very clear manner.

I had a request for this book to help plan a Renaissance themed wedding.

Included in the package going out are the following books:

Clothes of the Ancient World: Prehistory - 500 AD
Clothes of the Medieval World: c. 500 - 1500 AD
Clothes of the Early Modern World: c. 1500 - 1800 AD

Received this book in the mail today...along with the other two. How wonderful to have all three so that I can get a true sense of how the clothing evolved. Thank you SO much for the RABCK!! I will keep them moving when I am finished with my research.

Am sending this book to fellow BookCrosser BunRab in a book exchange. Enjoy!

Received as part of a swap - thanks! I'm going to enjoy perusing the set.
