Step into the world of Stuart style, from the royal courts to the bustling streets of London. My new book uncovers the lives and expertise of those who managed, made, sold and cared for wardrobes of six queens between 1603–1714. 

Discover how the patronage of queens and other powerful women helped elevate female courtiers, servants and artisans such as silkwomen, tirewomen, milliners, and mantua-makers, shaping the fashion industry in ways that still resonate today.
