Bliaut Agnes, velvet, white

Product description

This bliaut is a dress in the style of the 11th to 13th centuries, worn at the time by both men and women of high status. Characteristic is the horizontal pleat just below the bust, together with sleeves that fit closely to the elbow and then widen sharply to the floor. The body is heavy velvet, while the wide sleeves are made of light muslin – a combination that evokes the classic, flowing look of the early Middle Ages and which was a real fashion statement for the nobility at the time.

On the sides is the dress equipped with lacing, which allows you to tighten the waist for that characteristic historic waistline, while at the same time the fit remains easily adjustable. Gold trim along the neck and armholes give the dress a finished, precious appearance.

Available in creamy white, is this one dress a flowing, one-piece garment for those who want to play a noblewoman, priestess or wealthy merchant's wife, with a double sizing that fits a wide range of body types.
