Early Medieval linen dress with woven trim on the neckline and sleeves

Product information

This early medieval linen dress is a perfect base layer for a historical reenactment of a wealthy Scandinavian or Slavic woman. Traditionally, additional layers and accessories were worn over it to indicate a social status.

• 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 a small slit and sleeves are decorated with a handwoven woolen trim.

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.

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.
• 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.
• The trim is made of 100% sheep wool. Woven from yarn chemically dyed in the factory.
• Colors may vary slightly due to supplier fabric rotation, lighting conditions and screen settings.

Washing & care instructions

• Wash on a delicate cycle at 40°C.
• Do not use bleach or stain removers!
• No high-speed spin (damages seams and fibers).
• Dry vertically outdoors. Do not tumble dry.
• To maintain the appearance, it is best to iron clothes with damp water, inside out, up to 150C (two dots).
