An old engraving of clothing worn in Tudor times in England. The style of dress dates from the late 15th and early 16th centuries during the reign of Henry VII (1485–1509). Notable here are the felt hats worn by the men and ostrich feather plumage that adorned them. Capes or gowns formed the outer clothing layer – the woman’s gown has long, hanging sleeves. Long hair was in vogue at the time. This attire would have been worn by those in society with money, landed gentry, the nobility and others connected to the royal court.
