For those of you looking for literature on medieval garments, my phd
thesis "Konstruktion und Nähtechnik mittelalterlicher weltlicher
Kleidung" (Construction and sewing techniques of secular medieval
garments) might be of interest. The thesis is a comprehensive survey
of extant medieval garments with analysis of cutting, construction
development and sewing techniques. Apart from an overview over
material, textile techniques and sewing techniques, it contains an
in-depth analysis of the development of garments from about 500 to
1500. In addition to that, I have tried to reconstruct the medieval
tailoring process, and the results are also outlined in the book.
Finally, it contains a catalogue of 173 garments or garment fragments
from all over Europe, usually with at least one picture of the piece.
The book is written in German with an English summary; you can get
more information (in German too) about the volume and the topics
covered on my website: http://www.pallia.net/buchprojekt.html
Publication is being prepared; the book will be in hardcover with lots
of b/w pictures and 24 colour plates. The price will be in the range
of 60-80 Euro.
If you are interested in the book, you can subscribe to a mailing
list, and I will send you updates when the book is available for
pre-order. Subscription is by sending an e-mail with the subject
"subscribe" to infoletter@pallia.net.
