Friday, August 1st, 2008
The Tudor Era, from 1485 to 1603 was a provocative period of history, revealed also by the clothing worn during that time. The most popular costumes include the Tavern wench, Innkeeper, Celtic dress, Steersman, Kitchen wench and Monk’s robe. Clothing from this time is rich in color and texture and highly stylized.
Women’s blouses tend to be low cut and off the shoulder and revealing. Their floor length skirts are flowing, and are usually made of several layers, some with corsets.
Men’s outfits generally include black boots, vest, loose fitting pants and a drop yoke white shirt.
Clothing of this period tended to reflect class and rank, so royalty tended to wear outfits that were more complex while working class people wore less expensive, more simplistic clothing.
