Jane Huggett is author of numerous titles in the Stuart Press range of publications including Dress of the Common Man 1580-1660 and Dress of the Common Woman 1580-1660. Her paper on “Rural costume in Elizabethan Essex: A study based on the evidence from wills” was published in Costume (The Costume Society’s annual journal) in 1999. It offers a fascinating insight in to the dress of ordinary sixteenth century women.
The book is scheduled for publication in October 2012 and an exciting programme of promotional events will be announced later in the year.
