Móda a odívání v husitské době - Materiály, textilní techniky, střihy a návody – Černá-Feyfrlíková Monika (2020)

In the Middle Ages, it was usually easy to tell at first glance which social class a person belonged to based on their clothing. Whether the person was a cleric or a layperson, that is, a noble, a burgher, or a peasant. During the Hussite Wars, one could even identify whether someone was a radical or moderate Hussite or a Catholic based on certain signs. Clothing could also hint at what profession someone was engaged in. Besides the functionality of clothing and accessories, fashion played a significant role during this time as well. The publication will provide the reader not only with a comprehensive idea of how our ancestors dressed in the 15th century and how they expressed their attitudes and religious beliefs through clothing, but it can also serve as a valuable guide for costume makers for reenactors or theatrical and film costume designers. The content of the book is based on years of research and provides insight into the nature of clothing culture. It includes a number of detailed instructions supplemented with detailed photographs and drawings, allowing readers to create clothing similar to what people wore in the first half of the 15th century or simply try out the various textile techniques needed for it.
