If you are addicted to the Tudor period's social history, especially in the fields of costume styles, costume embellishment and headgear, then this is probably the best book you will find. It is full of information on the cut of these distinctive styles, including underwear, and the structures that give the costumes their shape, bum-rolls and farthingales. Headgear is given scope with a pattern for each of the different styles of French hood, so you can see how a Mary the 1st flattened headdress is different from an Anne Boleyn or a Mary Queen of Scots hood. The intricate styling of the English gable hood is comprehensive, and includes how the wearers hair becomes the foundation for this amazing headdress. Middle class and servant classes are also dealt with, so this book is a veritable feast for any Tudor costume glutton !Read full review

Great for using as a base for a variety of clothing and easily adaptable - I especially like that the patterns aren’t all upper-class. Also men’s & women’s patterns - five stars
