The vast wardrobe of Queen Elizabeth I is legendary: in her own time some of the richly embroidered gowns were displayed with other treasures to dazzle the eyes of foreign visitors to the Tower of London.Designs for jewellery and embroidery, and gifts of clothing to and from the Queen are discussed, together with the symbolism of motifs and colors. The organization and staff of the Wardrobe of Robes, the work of craftsmen employed to make the Queens clothes and accessories -- tailors, embroiderers, farthingale-makers, cappers, hosiers, shoemakers, and others -- and the wares supplied by silkwomen and silkmen, provide a background to the study. The work is copiously annotated.
