Tailor’s shop, Amman Sachs, 1568<\/p><\/div>\n

Buying clothing second-hand is very well-documented in the 16th century, and really, in most eras. Clothing and fabric were big investments before the post-World-War-II manufacturing boom that lead to our current state of disposable fast fashion. If a garment could be used again, it was. Best dresses became second-best or everyday dresses, garments were altered when body shape changed due to age or maternity or garments were passed on to other family members or servants or they were sold to the second-hand clothing dealers.<\/p>\n

I’m lucky to call her a friend, and I already knew how exquisite her work was. A while ago, she had sold this doublet to a mutual friend, and now that woman was clearing out her closet. This piece shall be thrice loved, indeed. In fact, looking at the wool I bought at the same time, that will make the perfect kirtle to wear with this doublet. A new outfit is born…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
