### ⭐⭐ 







  
  
    a paltry attempt at discussing Elizabethan fashion
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2020*

If you're looking for a book about the history of Elizabethan fashion, this ain't it chief. This book seems confused about what it's trying to be. It's not a history of Elizabethan costume for sure-- the descriptions and definitions of clothing are sorely lacking, and way too much time is spent pointlessly referencing Shakespeare. The Shakespeare is honestly the worst part-- why mention Shakespeare so many times for absolutely no reason other than to say, hey, look, Shakespeare talked about breeches once! The author also never references the portraits in her text, and she also doesn't ever get to her main point, which is why did people wear the clothes that they did? I still don't know why people wore ruffs. Or why women wore farthingales. This is a book for amateurs, and is more appropriate for high school students than it is for anyone seriously interested in the history of fashion. That said, the portraits the author chose are all spectacular.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Much enjoyed.
  

*by D***E on Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2015*

Flea furs, bum rolls, gorgets, ruffs and muffs in all their glory!  As others have noted this is not a large book, but what is here is splendid.  Every page is packed with lavish illustration and interesting text. Much enjoyed.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    fun read. Very informative and with good illustrations
  

*by P***N on Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2015*

A short, fun read.  Very informative and with good illustrations.  If you want a short overview of fashions during the time of Shakespeare, this book is it.
