(by Dorothy Hartley) First published in 1931, this clear cut and richly detailed guide takes an effective and fresh approach. Alongside appropriate illustrations taken from manuscripts and statues, are basic instructions for recreating the clothing. Photos (circa 1931) of live models wearing what was made from the "patterns" bring the book to life. Accessories and tools to complete the garb are included. All types of occupations are illustrated - doctors, merchants, musicians, artisans, farmers, laborers, royalty, knights. 203 black & white, 2 color illus. Paper, 6 1/8 x 9 1/4, 142 pp ISBN 0486429857
