Description: The Gothic era in fashion, art, and architecture (c. 1150-1450) was the final and perhaps most creative period of the Middle Ages, opening the doors to the Renaissance. Tom Tierney captures the spirit of this period in a paper doll collection that depicts the elegant wardrobe of a noble couple. Apparel for the young heir to a vast estate includes robes with long, full sleeves; particolored hose; a short, fur-trimmed jacket; a suit of armor; and a variety of footwear and headgear. His lady can be dressed in silk gowns with full sleeves, a woolen mantle, fur-trimmed robes of silk and velvet, as well as turbans, "steeple" headdresses, and other period accessories. Carefully researched notes accompany costumes sure to entertain paper doll fans, costume historians, and devotees of medieval fashion.
