Opis

Making Working Women's Costume gives a unique account of the clothes of ordinary women from the mid-15th century to the early 20th century. As well as introducing the historical periods, it gives patterns for a range of typical garments that women of the poorer classes would have worn. Organized by century, it draws on historical sources and finds, paintings, and photographs to recreate the clothes of these under-celebrated women.
