DESCRIPTION
Authentic historical costume is essential for any performance, to instantly communicate a period, a social standing, an occupation, or an identity. The responsibility of this representation lies with the costume maker's knowledge of the design and accuracy of construction. The Costume Maker's Companion serves as a guide to novice and experienced makers alike, covering the common garments of the Medieval, Tudor, Jacobean, Restoration, Regency, and Victorian eras of British history.
