Viking woolen dress trimmed with natural silk

Product information

The dress was recreated based on archaeological finds, research by Scandinavian archaeologists, and medieval iconography. It represents a variant of the woolen dress typical of the upper classes, i.e., royal families. The early Middle Ages were characterized by limited access to luxurious fabrics – silk was among the most expensive materials, so even rulers could only afford small stripes adorning their garments.

• 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.
• Historical sleeves provide comfort and freedom of movement thanks to square gussets sewn under the arms, widening the upper part of the dress. The sleeves taper slightly towards the wrists.
• The round neckline with small slit and cuffs are adorned with natural silk – an unique detail that emphasizes the royal character of the dress.

This product is machine-sewn in our workshop in Otwock, Poland. Each product is made to order.

Size & length

• Select the size based on the bust circumference at the widest point, according to our size chart!
• If you choose a standard size without providing your measurements, the product will be made to the maximum circumference from the chart (e.g., size M = 98 cm, not 91 cm) + 10 cm. This means that a dress made for a 90 cm bust will actually measure 100 cm in width.
• The size you choose does not affect the length – we will adjust it to your height.

Fabric & color

• This product is made of high-quality sheep wool, with a minimum 80% pure wool content. It is non-sheer and retains its shape. No lining.
• Due to the high turnover of fabrics among suppliers, we do not have a fixed color palette and work with materials available in stock. Often, these fabrics, for various reasons—from fabric size to material thickness —are unsuitable for specific products but work well with others. This helps us reduce textile waste and fully utilize the fabrics' potential. This doesn't guarantee the presence or absence of a visible weave, such as a herringbone pattern.
• If you are interested in specific colors or shades, please contact us in advance so we can select the right material.
• Colors may vary slightly due to fabric turnover among suppliers, lighting conditions, and screen settings.

Washing & care instructions

• Hand-wash only in cold water, using special, very gentle detergents designed for natural wool.
• Do not use bleach or stain removers!
• Do not spin dry quickly (it damages the seams and fibers).
• Dry vertically outdoors. Do not tumble dry.
• Can be ironed at a temperature suitable for wool, on a very delicate setting.
