COSTUMES
Good for addressing the different styles from peasant to court. Will help some when making costumes for Children, but must do a little more research to determine dress in the 1200's.

This book is wonderful. A wide variety of costume, a great number of historical images, clear patterns and dry wit, this book is a win.

Womens clothing poorly represented
Black and white on newsprint-type paper. I would have had better luck at the Library.

La création de costumes médiévaux à la portée de tous...
... enfin presque, il faut juste accepter de sortir des clichés issus des films hollywoodiens et bannir les tissus synthétiques. Il faut tout de même connaître les bases de la couture, mais ce préalable étant posé, il sera facile de recréer des costumes féminins et masculins, des différentes classes sociales.

Super consigliato
Il miglior prodotto per avvicinarsi alla costumistica filologica. Contiene anche delle descrizioni basate sullo studio delle arti pittoriche. Unica limitazione, forse, è la lingua inglese. Spedizione in Italia rapidissima!
