| This
is what a book for the serious costumer should be! The focus is
narrow, covering one aspect of Renaissance dress that is usually totally
ignored. There are a few large color reproductions that clearly
illustrate how the dress in question was viewed by painters of the
time. Attention has been paid to written sources, as well as
pictorial. There are plenty of footnotes so that the author's
research can be followed. There are diagrams of patterns and
instructions on construction. If you have any interest in
Renaissance dress, you need this book!
