- Bloomsbury Historic Dress in Detail Videos
Watch immersive videos exploring garments, featuring both menswear and womenswear, in detail, spanning a vast historical timeline and aimed specifically at an academic audience. They explore historical context and materials, fastenings and garment details, as well as how garments were made. A key aspect of each video is the act of getting dressed; they clearly demonstrate how the garments were layered and worn in real life.
Topics include Roman, Tudor, Regency, Victorian and Modernist dress, many of which are perfectly aligned to designing costume for performance. Get practical advice with learning material videos on how to research historic dress and how to create garments without patterns.
Delve deeper by reading the accompanying articles which provide key historical background as well as primary sources and relevant museum collections to aid further research and study.
The videos have been created by Crow's Eye Productions, specialists in media content on historic dress and costume. All content has been reviewed by leading dress historian Valerie Cumming.
