"The True and Exact Dresses and Fashion" Archaeological Clothing Remains and their Social Contexts in Sixteenth- and Seventeenth-Century Hungary

This archaeological study analyses the clothing remains and material culture from church cemeteries across Hungary, to determine the various factors which influenced the use and meaning of clothing items during a period which saw the Ottoman conquest of a significant proportion of the country. Dora Menai rejects ethnicity as a single or even dominant factor determining dress, stressing the complex interaction of a range of factors including trade cultural exchange and social status.
