Making Medieval Underwear-a practical guide

Author(s): Sally Pointer

Year: 2001

Summary

You can never have enough underwear! Seriously though, the current popularity of living history demands a high standard of authenticity in all aspects of costume, and underwear is no exception.

This eminently practical booklet explores the nature of the evidence for early undergarments and offers practical patterns for reconstructions of shifts, shirts, braies, coifs, aprons and head-dresses.

An essential for all medieval re-enactors and a good basic sourcebook for adapting to other costuming use.
