  • 80 historical illustrations, many in colour;
  • Over 100 specially commissioned line drawings;
  • 36 patterns with full step-by-step instructions and photographs showing finished garments worn by real people.

The first four chapters provide a social history of clothes in the 16th century, drawing on the latest research and primary sources such as ordinary people's wills and surviving royal records. There is discussion of the materials used, people's financial and social relationships with their clothes, and the changes in dress from birth to death. There is as much emphasis on the clothes of ordinary people as there is on high fashion. There is also general advice on choosing materials, construction methods, and an insight into the Tudor tailor's sewing kit.
