Medieval Costume in England and France provides a great overview of the different styles of garb during the specified periods. It is divided by century, and further grouped by Royal/Religeous/Common styles. The line drawings are helpful in giving a general idea of how the different styles look. There are some general layout illustrations that would be helpful to an experienced sewer, but a beginner would need additional information to create the look, not provided by this book. ("The Medieval Tailor's Assistant" is perfect for this additional sewing information) I'm not a historian, so I can't comment on the reliability of the sources, but as a newcomer to the SCA I found this book very helpful in finding garb that would fit chosen personna. There are excellent historical descriptions, and frequent reference to sources. For what it intends to offer, this is an excellent book.

《英格兰和法国的中世纪服装》对特定时期的不同服装风格提供了一个很好的概述。它按世纪划分，并进一步按皇家/贵族/普通风格进行分组。线条图有助于让人们对不同风格的外观有一个大致的了解。有一些一般的布局插图，对有经验的缝纫师会有帮助，但初学者需要额外的信息来创建外观，这本书没有提供。(我不是一个历史学家，所以我不能评论资料来源的可靠性，但作为一个SCA的新人，我发现这本书对寻找适合所选角色的服装非常有帮助。书中有很好的历史描述，并经常提到资料来源。对于它所要提供的东西，这是一本非常好的书。
