To be dressed historically correct as a medieval re-enactor - it could not be simpler: the
range of garments that those interested in the Middle Ages can now make themselves stretches
from High to late Middle Ages (1200 to 1500) and from a simple maid to lower gentry. Panels
with lifelike coloured illustrations revive the different medieval classes through their
clothing and accessories. Clear easily understandable pictures lead you through all the
processes. Starting with the sewing techniques used in the Middle Ages even the layman learns
how to neaten fabric edges attach sleeves and make cloth buttons. The colourful pictures and
rich illustrations penned by Rolf Fuhrmann turn looking at this book into a pure treat and add
to Wolf Zerkowski's texts perfectly. (Jürgen Ludwig website landsknechtsportal) Thus this book
is truly a great work and surely an enrichment for those who seek a fundamental practical
approach to medieval fashion. (Pax Et Gaudium 2004)
