Sorry if you’ve already answered this question before but do you have any recs for where to learn more about Tudor clothing?

I went into general fashion history sources here but some specific Tudor ones are going to be linked below- I do suggest checking out the other post as well though.

The Tudor Tailor website and their etsy

The School of Historic Dress (they own the rights to Patterns of Fashion, which only really start in the 1540s but still, amazing and still technically Tudor. Several other publications about the 16th Century as well)

Knitting in Early Modern Europe Database

Elizabethan Costume (a lot interesting pieces on this site, however

Period Costume for Stage and Screen (Jean Hunnisett) - out of print and aimed towards theatrical design but if you can find it, it’s a great resource

Tudor Costume and Fashion- Herbert Norris

Tudor Fashion- Eleri Lynn

Some articles/blogposts:

Renaissance Clothing and Sumptuary Laws

Royal Museums Greenwich

The Anne Boleyn Files

Some fun videos bc if you’re like me, it’s fun to switch it up!

The Tudor Travel Guide- Dressing A Tudor Lady from the Court of Henry VIII

Prior Attire- Dressing up a Tudor Lady

Prior Attire- Dressing up a Tudor woman, middle class

A lot of what we know about Tudor Fashion comes from portraits and sketches of the era, so I also recommend browsing portraits and looking at details in them. Also going through online museum collections- there aren’t many extant items, but there is a couple things like chemises, hats, etc.

Depending on your location, you might be able to join a group that does historical recreation- I know SCA goes up to the Tudor era, and there are other ones as well.

// me and @corsetslaced aka @corsetslacedup but like… unironically. Also, put some respect on my girls Anna of Cleves and Sibylla of Cleves; they are unironically really smart, generous and skilled at not dying which is saying something considering present company. Also not in any kind of competition about it because especially this race is the one we all lose.
