Large quantities of medieval textiles have been found in archaeological excavations in London in recent years, adding greatly to our knowledge of clothing and fashion for that period. Finds include knitting, tapestries, silk hair-nets and elaborately patterned oriental, Islamic and Italian fabrics, and reveal for the first time the wide range of cloths available to medieval Londoners. Beautifully made buttons, buttonholes and edgings display superb craftsmanship and a high level of needlework skills, and the way that clothes were cut and sewn can be studied in detail. In a highly readable account which will be of interest to the general reader as well as the dress historian and archaeologist, the authors survey these exciting discoveries and provide a wealth of new insights into the fashions, clothing and textile industries of medieval England and europe.
