Reviews
This book introduces medieval sumptuary laws: rules that determined who was allowed to wear what kind of clothing. These rigid regulations, based on class hierarchies, assigned specific styles, fabrics, and colors to different stations, from royalty on down to peasants. The text is presented as a long conversation between Bickford, a traveling jester who has just arrived in town, and Trowbridge, an obliging local who takes the time to explain the strange fashions that parade by. This makes it easy to introduce new vocabulary, as one high-born lady totters by in 20-inch wooden platform heels called chopines, and another sports a henin, a 3-foot-tall conical hat. Readers will learn interesting facts (poor people couldn't wear ermine, but could wear cat fur) and appreciate the explanations for the various clothing designations, but the lack of a bibliography or notes limits this as a research tool, and the illustrations sometimes contradict the text. Still, this is an accessible introduction to an interesting topic and should attract browsers as well as basic report writers."--Booklist, "The book's original artwork is interspersed with historical replicas and photographs to show off the complicated fads of the Middle Ages."--Foreword Reviews, "Stuff your poulaines, lads; hold on to your henins, lasses; and button up your brocades if you're upper class to join Bickford, a traveling jester, as he learns the do's and don'ts of Medieval fashion and laws, which dictated everything from the length of sleeves and colors worn to the style and number of buttons permitted on a tunic. The book's original artwork is interspersed with historical replicas and photographs to show off the complicated fads of the Middle Ages."--Foreword Reviews

Synopsis
Did you know social status was identified in the Middle Ages by how you dressed? Bizarre fashion rules dominated society and were even considered laws!, During the Middle Ages, your position in life was based on birth. This position would follow you throughout your life. To make it easy for others to know your social class, rules about what you could wear--or not wear--were created. Such rules, called sumptuary laws, determined colors of clothing, types of fabric and trims, length of garments, types of sleeves, and types of furs. The laws also regulated shoe lengths and height, hat height, types of buttons, and even the number of buttons you could wear. People were to dress according to the class in which they were born. In this way, just by looking at someone, you could tell if they were important or not.
