An elegant burgundian gown!

Made out of very rare, and  very expansive silk/wool damask from Sudbury Silk Mills, medium weight - a quality fabric that is more durable than flimsy silk,  doesn't crease easily, and is easy to iron and fully breathable.

 Ideal for recreating a high status lady from the second half of the 15th century.
