Book excerpt: This rare collection of tailoring patterns was originally published in Madrid in 1589, during the reigns of Phillip II of Spain and Elizabeth I of England, and when Spanish fashions dominated European dress. It covers 23 categories. As very few garments survive from the period, it is an important source book for dress historians and costume designers. The patterns and instructions also provide authentic information for historical re-enactment groups.
