Product Description

Review
A model of clarity, and copiously illustrated with photographs and diagrams. It provides absolutely essential reference material for the dress historian and archaeologist, for the early textile specialist, and those interested in the tools and equipment used. TOOL AND TRADES HISTORY SOCIETY NEWSLETTER (Linda Woolley, curator of early and medieval textiles and dress, V&A Museum) Highly readable... I particularly like the 'how to' section, and the inclusion of patter lay-outs. FINDS RESEARCH GROUP --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must for researchers and writers of historical fiction, 6 Aug 2005
By Deborah MacGillivray "Author," (US & UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This review is from: Textiles and Clothing, c.1150-c.1450: Finds from Medieval Excavations in London (Medieval Finds from Excavations in London) (Hardcover)
This is another of the brilliantly conceived and carried out, detailed works of the Medieval Period but out by the Museum of London. Dress Accessories; The Medieval Household : Daily Living c.1150-c.1450 (Medieval Finds from Excavations in London) and Shoes and Pattens : Finds from Medieval Excavations in London (Medieval Finds from Excavations in London) by Francis Grew, go with this book. They are worth every penny. They will bore the average reader, so they are really geared for the serious student, researcher or writers.

They start with excavations, and then go into the technique used to produce textiles - wool, hair, linen, silk, dyes an the looms. They show you actual pieces of material in very close up detail so you actually see the weave, in some cases they should the reconstructed "how it really appeared".

This is simply the best book on the subject and a must for Historical writers of this period.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential reference for those interested in extant textiles., 27 Sep 2001
By S. Pointer "Sally_in_Wales" (Sunny Wales) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Textiles and Clothing, c.1150-c.1450: Finds from Medieval Excavations in London (Medieval Finds from Excavations in London) (Hardcover)
The excavations of medieval London revealed many examples of textile, some in amazing condition. This book strikes the happy medium of being both indisputable scholarly reference and also a source of inspiration, particularly for anyone even considering attempting to make replicas of medieval garments. Clear line illustrations of looms and weaves, and examples of similar garments from manuscript sources are accompanied by good photographs of the extant textiles and a discussion of the techniques involved in their construction. Highly recommended.
