Book excerpt: No one interested in the history of dress, from art historians to stage designers, from museum curators to teachers of fashion and costume, can function effectively without Janet Arnold's Patterns of Fashion series, published by Macmillan since 1964. Since her untimely death in 1998, admirers of her work have been waiting, with increasing impatience, for the promised volume devoted to the linen clothes of the Elizabethan and early Stuart periods, a companion to her previous volume on tailored clothes of the same era. Planned and partly prepared by Janet herself, and completed by Jenny Tiramani, Janet's last pupil, no other book exists that is dedicated to the linen clothes that covered the body from the skin outwards. It contains full colour portraits and photographs of details of garments in the explanatory section as well as patterns for 86 items of linen clothing which range from men's shirts and women's smocks, from superb ruffs and collars to boot hose and children's stomachers. Beautifully produced, it is an invaluable guide to both the history and the recreation of these wonderful garments.

Download or read book Structuring Fashion written by Frank Matthias Kammel and published by . This book was released on 2020-01-08 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The shaping of the body through clothing has always played a major role over the centuries, as fashion change in Europe has always been accompanied by a change in the dress cut and thus the body silhouette. This volume illustrates numerous historical items of clothing and includes well-founded essays. Most restricting garments, for example, enabled the characteristic expression of fashion during a certain epoch; because only if the 'underneath' was right could the desired silhouettes and postures be achieved. The narrow waist created by lace-up corsets and corsets and the expansive shapes of the hoop skirts also caused criticism from contemporaries. Internationally renowned costume historians present their latest research on the subject.
