Abstract: The thesis is about 23 tops of costumes from the 17th century in the Hessisches Landesmuseum Darmstadt, which come from a collector called Baron von Hüpsch. As there are no written sources on the costumes, the technological research of all garments is the main topic. The results make it possible to explain the development of tailoring techniques in the 17th century. Also the costumes are related to the history of costume in the 17th century. A catalogue with all the technological analysis and pattern drawings is included as well.

Does include pictures of the original garments, at the end, as well as line drawings of the pattern shapes and the materials they are made from. Includes tablet weaving diagrams, lace making and tailoring details. The pattern drawings include the various layers, and decoration diagrams.
