SYNOPSIS
Covering English costume from Saxon times to almost the end of the nineteenth century. There are many pattern designs which can be scaled up, with detailed notes on making the costumes and much more practical information on materials and colours. This book is as useful as it is attractive, and still would be of great help for anyone wishing to make accurate period costumes for the stage, pageants or fancy dress.
