## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Research, Strong for Men's Garments Especially
*by A***R on September 7, 2019*

Ms. Arnold's work was always based upon extant garments. This has always meant a limit to the work to those garments that survive through time, which tend to be those of the wealthy. This is even more evident in this work as the extants that survive from this period are spread geographically from England, to Germany, to Italy. This is not a negative statement, just something one must keep in mind when working with this book. The volume starts, as all those in the PoF series do, with a great deal of research and a number of photos and illustrations (black and white). Some of these garments in the research portion of the book are then presented as gridded drawings in the second portion which the reader can then use a 1" grid to generate full sized pattern pieces. Though the book cover shows women's garments, I would actually say this volume has a stronger representation of men's garments as there are a greater number and variety of those garments than women's clothes. Even so, this is absolutely an essential volume for any fashion historian, costumer, or reenactor.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This book is not for beginners
*by S***C on September 26, 2019*

This is a beautiful book and much more informative than I hoped. Can I do any or all of these patterns? Yes, I can. But I am 69 years old and have been sewing by hand and machine since I was 12. If you are a beginner and you have a interest in the construction of historic garments, this is the book for you! If you want to make some garment from the past and have no experience or little experience in pattern making, alterations, fitting this may be a book that brings you joy and inspiration to learn more. But if you looking for a halloween costume that you can whip up between now and this coming halloween party, that is not going to happen. I am grateful for this book. It is very well written, illustrated/imaged, and has sparked many ideas for me.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fabulous book
*by K***I on March 3, 2020*

This book is fabulous and well worth the price. Was able to use with the DETAILED drawings she provides of all the outfits she personally reviewed in museums to create both a man's doublet and Elanor of Toledo's gown, to my measurements. With the drawings on a 1 square = 1 inch it was fairly easy to up-size and play with the design elements to make them fit. The historical notes are wonderful as well on the design elements and the garment's histories as well. This book is a treasure. Seriously thinking about ordering some of the others in the series.
