Product description
This dress is based on clothing fragments from the ninth and tenth century found at archaeological excavations in Birka, Skjoldehamm and Hedeby. It's perfect for re-enacting or LARPing a Viking girl.
Made from sturdy cotton, this comfortable dress works well in early spring and fall too. A cotton belt is included. The dress features two contrasting shades of red for a beautiful effect. The hem of the underskirt, the belt, the neckline, and the sleeve hems are all done in a deep, dark red.
The finish looks completely historical. The skirt has an extra strip of fabric (gores) in the middle at the front and back — in the Middle Ages, these strips were sewn in so the skirt flared wide instead of falling straight down.
