Description
Explore the evolution of the seamstress trade from 1600 to 1900 in Shirts, Shifts and Sheets of Fine Linen. This historical study by Bloomsbury examines how the scope and status of women working in linen and cotton changed over three centuries. In the 17th and early 18th centuries, seamstressing was a specialized trade. These craftswomen produced men's shirts, women's chemises, underwear, and baby linen. Many were highly skilled professionals capable of creating stitches nearly invisible to the naked eye. This book traces their journey from master craftswomen who took apprentices and earned respectable living standards to the shifting landscape of the 19th century.
