<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><i>Making Working Women's Costume </i>gives a unique account of the clothes of ordinary women from the mid-15th century to the early 20th century. As well as introducing the historical periods, it gives patterns for a range of typical garments that women of the poorer classes would have worn. Organized by century, it draws on historical sources and finds, paintings, and photographs to recreate the clothes of these under-celebrated women.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Elizabeth Friendship </b>studied fashion at St Martin's School of Art and theater design at Bristol Old Vic Theatre School. She then worked in the theater for 14 years as a designer and costume maker, principally at the Citizen's Theatre in Glasgow and The Welsh National Opera Company.
