Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This book gives a extremely brief overview of many styles of clothing throughout the last 1200 years. If you are after detailed instructions on how to make medieval clothing, then this book is not for you. However, if you are an accomplished tailor and can work from line drawings, you have the right book. I did not find this book particularly helpful with how to make the clothing, but it did show me what styles were around. Be aware that this book gives no measurements nor types of materials used, nor does it assist the serious re-enactor. This book is aimed, in my opinion, at someone who is planning to attend a fancy dress party and who intends to wear the outfit they make once only.
