Capturing, translating, and communicating the knowledge generated through recreation is a key challenge for the field of dress history. Making knowledge is inherently tacit: it is something we feel, experience, and develop. Just as historians grapple with issues around how to access those experiences, knowledges, and practices amongst past makers, so too do recreative practitioners face the challenge of how to make that personal, experiential knowledge comprehensible to other researchers and the general public.
