clothes
 These
pages look at information about medieval women's clothing.
They cover the way clothes were cleaned
and stored, what the clothes were called, a look at interpreting costume
when depicted in historical art and the laws made by Royalty which governed
what the rest of the population could and couldn't wear, down to the fabric

known as Sumptuary Laws.

- CLOTHES FROM HISTORICAL ART
- Interpreting artworks to make medieval clothes
- SUMPTUARY LAWS
- Clothing regulations for the classes
