This semester the course will take place on Thursday evenings, 18:00-20:00 UK time, and starts on 23rd September 2021. This allows us to follow the development of dress and fashion, and to study construction, techniques, patterns, embellishments, and of course the socio-cultural historical context. The course is designed around three major themes, which means we engage with visual and textual sources from the period, and investigate extant textiles and surviving dress. It is supported by vast online resources, including recommended and further reading, and curated links to a plethora of primary and secondary sources. Typically, a session will comprise a lecture, activities, and class discussions. The course is taught online using Zoom and takes place over 10 weeks, involving a 2 hour online seminar each week.
