Summary: Not for the beginner!
Comment: This book is definately for the experienced costumer - and for somebody who is deeply interested in researching fashion in this era.
It is a book that is full of detailed descrption, although the lack of colour illustrations is definately a minus. I had hoped that with the re-issue the photographs would have been re-taken in colour.
I found it to be very useful, but definately not something to sit down and read - it is definately a "study" type of read.

Summary: An excellent reference, if a little hard to read
Comment: This book is filled with useful information for those interested in the costume of the period, although it can be hard to untangle some of the author's sentences. Newton covers the period in short segments (a few years at a time), examining the changes to costume throughout Europe as documented in a variety of sources - contemporary descriptions in chronicles and literature, illuminations, condemnation of fashion by clerics, sumptuary laws, and household accounts. The glimpses into social history, economics, politics and class structure are also useful. My only regret is that she strictly limits herself to the period in question and that there aren't more illustrations. But this book is an excellent resource.
