Slavic linen harvest dress with wildflower embroidery

Product information

This linen dress is inspired by the early medieval Birka dress – a staple of Viking Age women's attire. Slavic women also wore similar dresses, often adorned with embroidery and trim.

Our version is a modern interpretation of the dress worn during rituals associated with the beginning and end of the Slavic harvest.

• The authentic early medieval cut gives the body of the dress a classic, straight line, complemented by two gussets on the sides that beautifully widen the dress from the waist, giving it a flowing appearance.
• Modern sleeves are sewn in to ensure a perfect fit to the figure - they taper towards the wrists, without creating folds and giving a neat, aesthetic look.
• The front of the dress is decorated with machine embroidery of wildflowers.

Thanks to its versatility, this dress is also suitable for LARPs, Renaissance fairs, medieval markets, stylized photo shoots, and weddings.

The product is machine-sewn, with edges overlocked in our workshop in Otwock, Poland. Each piece is made to order.

• Have any questions or difficulties with measurements? Visit our studio for a consultation.
• The size you choose does not affect the length – we will adjust it to your height.

Fabric & color

• The product is made of pure, 100% linen with an average weight of 185–220 g/m² – it is not transparent and keeps its shape.
• The material is pre-washed, softened and wash-resistant, so the product will last for years.
• High-quality confirmed by the Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 certificate. The linen comes from Belarusian crops.
• Colors may vary slightly due to supplier fabric rotation, lighting conditions and screen settings.

• Wash on a delicate cycle at 40°C.
• Do not use bleach or stain removers!
• No high-speed spin (damages seams and fibers).

• To maintain the appearance, it is best to iron clothes with damp water, inside out, up to 150C (two dots).
