Frequently Asked Questions
What Did Lords and Ladies Wear in Medieval Times?
Social standing and wealth played major roles in what men and women wore during the Middle Ages. Women of wealth and status wore floor-length dresses and tunics like peasant women, but the choice of material was very different.
Medieval noblewomen wore gowns made of luxurious and colorful fabrics with elaborate embroidery. Later, their clothing only became more elaborate and opulent. Wealthy noblewomen’s clothing was adorned with silver, gold, and pearl dress embellishments and accessories.
Men’s medieval clothing consisted of the basics (many of which are still worn today), such as tunics, doublets, clokes, robes, vests, baldrics, jerkins, sword belts, breeches, tights, hats, and pointed leather boots and shoes.
What Are Your Medieval and Renaissance Gowns Made Of?
Many of our Medieval and Renaissance clothes are made from fine materials, such as cotton velveteen, cotton twill, satin, and silk, to showcase a luxurious look fit for ladies of wealth and status. We also have less elaborate garments made from common fabrics, like lightweight cotton and cotton canvas, for historically accurate costumes.
Medieval Collectibles’ medieval- and Renaissance-styled women’s clothes pay close attention to details, like trims, necklines, and embellishments, to provide period- and status-appropriate attire for historical reenactments, live action role-playing (LARP) games, cosplay events, costume parties, and even weddings.
