CohenI know of no other study of the 16th century that attempts to as throughly cover everything from French hairdressing to textile design than Norris work on Tudor costume and fashion. Its a magnificent mess of a book; full of illustrations; odd antidotes and a rambling sort of structure that makes finding things sometimes an entertaining challenge. Despite all this; I think it has a place in very costume history collection.Perhaps the most telling thing about Herbert Norris opus on Tudor dress is that it was first published in the 1930s. Dovers excellent reprint of the work is well worth having on the shelf as an accessory volume to other more modern sources; but it remains very much a work of its era. When Norris was writing; historical dress studies were rarely held to the same academic standards as other branches of historical works. While Norris does provide some limited citation; it is hardly the sort of detailed annotation that a person expects from a historical work today.Many of Norris claims have been refuted by current scholarship; however; I firmly believe that his clear illustrations and the broad reaching nature of this work redeem it from the flaws of it being nearly 80 years old. Its a good solid work on Tudor costume; but I wouldnt suggest that it be someones only work on Tudor costume.And; as several people have mentioned; this isnt a pattern book. It wont help you sew stuff.24 of 24 people found the following review helpful. Good resource!By A CustomerDepending on what you want to do. It wont show you how to sew anything. However; it does have great pictures in clear black and white showing what people wore in all different classes of society from about 1485 to 1601; carefully documenting changes in high fashion and also showing differences in different countries (England; Spain; France; Germany). I could recognize many of the portraits he used; as a historian of the time; but his drawings made what was actually being worn more clear than in portraits. You couldnt sew a costume just using his pictures; but if you had a pattern from somewhere else; his pictures would make it look more accurate. For details of sewing techniques; and photos of actual period clothes .I would go to Janet Arnold. I think that they supplement each other well. But neither is really a pattern book (except maybe if you are much more advanced than I am).1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Great resourceBy RichardIve used the Norris book for Medieval Costume before and I love it; and this one is that much more. In addition to plates and figures; that show the costumes in period illustrations; the book is organized by reigns; and includes sections on orders of chivalry; headdresses; hats; shoes; jewelry; and discussions of usage of every part of the costume. The biggest danger is allowing Norris to be your only source; just because it has everything. Enjoy; I have already spent several evenings just perusing the book; and I have several plans for costumes.
