A late medieval dress suitable for re-creating an middle class woman from  the second half  of the 15th century.

A wealthy merchant's wife/widow or a higher status lady in court for winter - or a sunday best for a middling lass!

 

 This gown is offered at a big discount - I made it a couple of years ago for a client, who in the end changed her mind and went for a different colour. It has been hanging at ther back of the storage wonkily, and stretched a bit at the hem - this can be easily addressed - either  rehemmed in places that nbeed it or the whole hem bound  ( better option, more durable hem!)

 

 New gowns like this usually start from £450 plus fabric

 

 Features:

  •  Lovely dark green wool,  medium - light weight, soft , with a good drape - 7m of wool went into it!
  • Lined in  lightweight soft linen throughout
