Now available as a stunning, glossy-paged print book.

Since the publication of Janet Arnold’s work on Elizabethan era dress in the 1970s and 80s, much has been written about the clothing of mid- to late 16th century England. But for people who wear reproductions of Elizabethan clothing at historic sites, reenactments, Renaissance Faires, Shakespearean plays, Western Martial Arts, and living history events, this body of knowledge is lacking one essential piece — a simple guide on how to get dressed.  What pieces are essential to be dressed properly?  What garments can be omitted for reasons of comfort without compromising the accuracy of the outfit?  Where is the line between costume and clothing?

Reconstructing History’s 16th century Early Elizabethan Common Women's Getting Dressed Guide is meant to fill that void. 

This 58-page guide, written by clothing historian Kass McGann and backed by 25 years of research, will tell you everything you need to know to dress historically accurately as an Elizabethan Common Woman from 1560s through 1580s England and her colonies.

The Getting Dressed Guides are not intended to be books of all knowledge.  In these pages you will not find debates about the construction of doublets or what sheep breeds were in use in the English wool industry. You will simply find a list of garments commonly worn by Englishwomen in the 1560s through 1580s and the manner in which they were worn.  General fabric types and other pertinent information is included, but more detail than this is outside the scope of this Guide.  In other words, the Getting Dressed Guides are guides to teach you how to get dressed for this period and location.  “Everything you need to know to get dressed.”

If you find a garment listed in a Getting Dressed Guide, you can be sure it was worn in the period covered. If you do not find a garment listed in these pages, that only means it was not common enough for us to include.

Kitchen sink sponge caddie

Rusting stainless steel
Color: Black, Color: Black
Description says stainless steel. After 6 months rust has developed and I doubt it will last a year. Suction cups suction was fine. The issue is have is the "U' theater the caddy rests on has bent to the point any little bump on the caddy will knock it off the suction but "U" notch.

I need to make sure the kitchen doesn't look so messy.
Color: Black, Color: Black
Look, this sponge holder is the kind you stick to the wall so you don't have everything lying around in the sink. Honestly, it does the job: it keeps the blue sponge and the metal scouring pad in place so they're not soaking in water at the bottom of the sink. ✔️ The good • It looks clean and keeps everything more organized. • The metal basket is well-designed; nothing falls out. • The sponge dries faster because it's ventilated. • It doesn't take up any counter space; everything hangs neatly.

Great little organizer
Color: Grey, Color: Grey
I was tired of having my sponge and scrubbers all over the sink, so I gave this a try—and it actually works really well. The suction cups are strong and haven’t fallen off, even when the basket is full. It holds my sponge, brush, and steel scrubber with no problem. The stainless steel feels sturdy and doesn’t rust. Super simple, but it makes my sink area look much cleaner. I’m really happy with it!

Do Not Recommend
Color: Black
Caddy falls off every other day. Suction cups are visibly ugly and prevent caddy from hanging higher. Poor design and overpriced.
