C16th Depicting Doublet Figures Hose Jerkin Tapestries Tudor
EDITORS COMMENTS
This image features a collection of figures taken from early 16th century tapestries, showcasing the intricate and elegant clothing of the time. The tapestries, which date back to the Tudor era, depict both men and women in their finest attire, with both front and back views provided for a comprehensive understanding of these historic garments. The men are dressed in doublets, a fitted jacket with a close-fitting bodice, often worn with a linen or wool shirt underneath. The doublet was typically fastened with laces or buttons, and could be worn with a jerkin, a padded or quilted waistcoat, for added warmth and protection. Hose, which were tight-fitting breeches, completed the look, often held up by a belt or girdle. The women's attire is equally stunning, with voluminous gowns that were often worn with farthingales, a hoop skirt that helped to create the desired hourglass figure. The gowns were typically made of luxurious fabrics such as velvet, satin, or silk, and featured elaborate decorations such as lace, embroidery, or beading. The high-necked gowns were often worn with ruffs, which were detachable collars made of lace or linen, and a mantle or cloak for added warmth and style. These tapestries offer a fascinating glimpse into the fashion and style of the early 16th century, providing valuable insights into the clothing and textiles of the time. The intricate details and rich colors of the garments are beautifully preserved, making this an essential resource for anyone interested in the history of fashion and textiles.
