Product description
This dress draws on originals from around the 13th–15th century. Medieval illuminated manuscripts such as the Tres Riches Heures du Duc de Berry depict dresses of this period in large numbers. This style is also known as a cotehardie. What sets the cotehardie apart is how it increasingly highlights the female figure — a clear departure from the shapeless dresses of earlier centuries. Laces and buttons on the front let ladies wear the dress closer to the body, emphasizing the waist and bust. The neckline, too, was cut progressively deeper. Women often paired the cotehardie with a slip dress, a belt, and a bonnet.
Crafted from velveteen, this cotehardie has a rich, luxurious look — perfect for re-enactment and LARP portrayals of noble and wealthy historical figures. Velvet emerged in Europe during the 14th century and was woven mainly in Italy. Among medieval Burgundians, velvet garments symbolized prosperity and prestige and were highly fashionable.
