This practical and informative guidebook is a "must-have" for anyone planning to create accurate period costumes for theatrical productions and historical reenactments. From short tunics worn by Saxon men in the fifth century to a lady's bustle dress of the late 1800s, this profusely illustrated text contains a wealth of authentic patterns. Information on pattern sizes, materials required, and methods of sewing accompany simply drawn diagrams for Elizabethan doublets, capes, and trunks; a man's coat and vest from the Restoration period; a lady's bell-shaped gown of the eighteenth century; an early-nineteenth-century empire gown; a crinoline; and other wardrobe items. Diagrams have been carefully and accurately drawn to scale from working patterns, and detailed notes for making costumes include suggestions for the most suitable colors and textures to be used for costumes of particular historical periods. A final section includes diagrams and information for creating period headdresses, caps, and hoods. Students of costume design, home tailors, and community drama groups will welcome this carefully researched guide to fifteen centuries of English fashions.
Black couture, Beauty & Styles Onder redactie van Ninke Bloemberg, Janice Deul, Anne-Karlijn van Kesteren en Hans Schopping. Voices of Fashion: Black Couture, Beauty & Styles gaat in op de eurocentrisch blik waarmee decennialang mode is gepresenteerd, gedragen en verzameld. De gevolgen van koloniaal denken zijn óók in de hedendaagse modesystemen voelbaar. Bijvoorbeeld: wie vertelt welke verhalen? Wie herkent zich in de schoonheidsidealen die de verschillende covers en catwalks domineren? Voices of Fashion weerspiegelt de weinig vertelde verhalen via persoonlijke bijdragen van ontwerpers, kunstenaars en modellen uit binnen- en buitenland. Het boek staat vol met interviews, verhalen en uniek beeldmateriaal van inspirerende en toonaangevende personen uit de modewereld. Kortom, een viering van beauty, fashion, creativiteit en cultuur om Zwarte makers en modellen de credits te geven die ze verdienen.

The Friday Tee is worked from the top down in a broken rib stitch pattern with raglan increases on the yoke. The neck edge is worked in rib and then knitted together to form a double-knit neckband. Short rows are worked on the yoke to shape the neckline. Sleeves and body are finished with a simple rib edge. Begin by working a swatch to determine which needle size you need to achieve the correct gauge. Remember to wash your swatch before measuring the gauge – broken rib relaxes and grows when washed. Size guide The Friday Tee is designed to have approx. 6-9 cm [2¼-3½ inches] of positive ease, meaning it is designed to be 6-9 cm [2¼-3½ inches] larger in circumference than your bust measurement. The sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL are designed to fit a bust circumference of 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110-120) 120-130 cm (130-140) 140-150 cm [31½-33½ (33½-35½) 35½-37½ (37½-39½) 39½-43¼ (43¼-47¼) 47¼-51¼ (51¼-55) 55-59 inches]. The measurements for the finished garment can be found on the front page of the pattern. Before beginning your project, measure yourself to determine which size to knit. For example, if you measure 90 cm [35½ inches] around your bust (or around the widest part of your upper body) you should knit a size S. A size S sweater has a bust circumference of 96 cm [37¾ inches], which in the given example would give you 6 cm [2¼ inches] of positive ease. The model in the photos is wearing a size XS and has a bust circumference of 82 cm [32¼ inches] and is 164 cm [approx. 5 feet 4 inches] tall.
