For those enthralled with Tudor history, try to find a book called Queen Elizabeth’s Wardrobe Unlock’d - preferably from the library, unless you want to spend $150USD on it. It covers the last inventory of her clothing as a starting point. It also covers where her clothes came from, right down to the sources for raw materials. And these is a final note comparing Elizabeth’s clothing expenditures vs. James I - absolutely fascinating to learn how frugal she really was. Most of the dresses were mix-&-match- sleeves, bodice, skirts, & under-skirts all separate & often re-worked to save money.

Yes, it was part of my university history course and I read everything I can get my hands on about the Tudors. Have you read the new Henry VIII, Virtuous Prince, by David Starkey? Don’t buy the exhibition book, unless you want it, because a lot of unscrupulous websites are trying to make it look as if this is part of Prof, Starkey’s next book about Henry and it isn’t ,it’s purely about the the London exhibition, marking the 500th anniversary of his reign. One thing - it’s a fascinating peroid, but I’m glad I din’t live then!
