Wardrobe records, Wills & Clothing Inventories

Clothing accounts, Wills, and Household Inventories are incredibly useful for understanding clothing, especially as they often include tailoring, style and material details that are simply not available using the visual record only. As I, and others, uncover and share new and interesting finds in this area, I will be posting them here. Many are in French and are candidates for a translation project at some future point. If you are interested in working on one, please contact me directly.
