Use This Complete Guide as Your Resource for Costuming

Jean Hunnisett's three-volume Period Costumes for the Stage & Screen is the ultimate resource for the accurate costuming of women. Spanning fashionable and common dress from medieval times to the early 1900s, these guides detail the patterns of the ages.

Reflecting knowledge gained from 25 years of making costumes for theater, film, and television, Hunnisett provides scaled patterns, step-by-step instructions, and working drawings. Mindful of purpose, the designs not only provide the right look for the times but are also fashioned using modern fabrics and sewing methods to fit the modern female figure.

This second volume covers the 16th through 18th centuries. Part one provides instruction on technique: choosing fabric, taking measurements, fitting and finishing. The remaining three sections cover the three centuries, with special attention given to corsets, ruffs, surcoats, collars, cuffs, and petticoats. An appendix provides information on equipment and supplies.

With hundreds of illustrations and photographs, this guide provides all the essential information for creating authentic-looking costumes for the period.

This book is also available from Echo Point Books as a hardcover (ISBN 1648374271).
