Sorry if youâve already answered this question before but do you have any recs for where to learn more about Tudor clothing?
I went into general fashion history sources here but some specific Tudor ones are going to be linked below- I do suggest checking out the other post as well though.
The Tudor Tailor website and their etsy
The School of Historic Dress (they own the rights to Patterns of Fashion, which only really start in the 1540s but still, amazing and still technically Tudor. Several other publications about the 16th Century as well)
Knitting in Early Modern Europe Database
Elizabethan Costume (a lot interesting pieces on this site, however
Period Costume for Stage and Screen (Jean Hunnisett) - out of print and aimed towards theatrical design but if you can find it, itâs a great resource
Tudor Costume and Fashion- Herbert Norris
Tudor Fashion- Eleri Lynn
Some articles/blogposts:Â

A lot of what we know about Tudor Fashion comes from portraits and sketches of the era, so I also recommend browsing portraits and looking at details in them. Also going through online museum collections- there arenât many extant items, but there is a couple things like chemises, hats, etc.
Depending on your location, you might be able to join a group that does historical recreation- I know SCA goes up to the Tudor era, and there are other ones as well.
