Abstract

This article presents evidence about Henrietta Maria's dress from her wardrobe accounts of 1627 to 1639. The accounts, in the National Archives at Kew, include a vast range of loose bills, acquittances and warrants related to textiles, garments, trimmings and accessories supplied and made for the Queen and members of her household. The extraordinary variety and splendour of the Queen's dress as well as the lavish clothing she presented to others is evident. This overview focuses on networks of supply and production, including details of key suppliers and artificers; practical aspects of fitting, mending and delivering clothing; gift-giving; and garment types. Tables of suppliers, artificers and garment types are provided. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
