Materials, textile techniques, patterns and instructions
Černá-Feyfrlíková Monika
In the Middle Ages, the owner of a garment could usually tell at a glance which social class it belonged to. Whether it was a spiritual or secular person, i.e. a nobleman, a burgher or a villager. During the Hussite Wars, it could even be determined by certain features whether a person was a radical or moderate Hussite or a Catholic. Clothing could also suggest what profession one was engaged in. Apart from the functionality of clothing and accessories, fashion also played an important role in this period.
This book will not only give the reader a comprehensive picture of how our ancestors dressed in the 15th century and how they used clothing to express their attitudes and religious beliefs, but it can also be a valuable guide to the production of clothing for reenactors or theatre and film costume designers.
The content of the book is based on years of research and provides insight into the shape of dress culture. It also includes a series of detailed instructions, accompanied by detailed photographs and drawings, so that readers can make the clothing worn by people in the first half of the 15th century themselves or simply try out the various textile techniques needed to do so.
