Author(s)
Thit Birk Petersen 1
Publication Date
Being an academic who loves her job, I tend to forget why I do what I do. When I find myself going down a rabbit hole of fun medieval research and get the urge to create new interpretative materials, guided tours or events (or even get lost in administrative work), I forget to focus on the guest 鈥 what they want and what they need. My main focus is getting as much history and love for history into the guests鈥 minds...

Book Review: A Handbook for Women鈥檚 clothing, Northern Europe, 1360-1415 by Ahlqvist and Neijman

Author(s)
Catharina Oksen 1
Publication Date

The book gives a short historical overview of major events in the chosen area, followed by an informative chapter on colours, a likewise very competent chapter on fabrics, and one on sewing techniques. Then the dress parts are presented, with very clear and informative modern illustrations. The focus is on ordinary dresses, not the really posh ones.

There are no sewing patterns as such, but the experienced seamstress can easily transfer the small silhouette patterns to real patterns, or one can search the bibliography in the book for relevant publications.
