Easily understandable and well-founded, this handbook guides you through the complex world of medieval clothing. The basics and meanings of various materials, sewing, stitching and textile techniques are explained, as are the prerequisites, limits and possibilities of research. An analysis of the surviving medieval clothing enables the presentation of the lines of development in the period from 500 to 1500. Explanations of the reconstructed tailoring techniques of the Middle Ages as well as a detailed, illustrated catalogue of the surviving garments and reconstruction drawings complete the handbook. This is the first comprehensive overview to provide an indispensable basis for understanding, reconstructing and researching medieval clothing.
