European fashions from the ninth through the fifteenth century appear in this comprehensive fashion retrospective. Forty-five ready-to-color illustrations portray people from every class of society, from farmers in plain tunics, aprons, and kirtles to courtiers in embroidered mantles and brocaded silk robes with fur-trimmed sleeves. Complete, fact-filled captions, in addition to an informative introduction, help make this volume an excellent resource for fashion historians and costume designers as well as a distinctive and entertaining coloring book.
