Medieval skirts

Medieval skirts for ladies and girls

Discover our range of medieval skirts. We have skirts for adults and for children.  You can wear the skirts alone under your blouse, or combine them with a petticoat for more warmth and volume. Especially in the late Middle Ages and Renaissance, women chose the combination of a blouse, skirt, and corset or bodice as opposed to the shapeless dresses you find in the early and high Middle Ages. Our skirts usually have a drawstring to fasten them. They do not have modern zippers, making them suitable for medieval reenactment.

Medieval apron

In the Middle Ages and Renaissance, clothing was expensive, and women had to be careful with their clothes. Clothing was also washed on a fixed day of the week. The skirt could get dirty when a lady had to bend down to feed the chickens, for example. While cooking, splashes could get on the clothing. Ladies wore a apron made of cheap quality fabric to protect the skirt and blouse from dirt. This way, the clothing remained clean until wash day, and the fabric wore out less quickly.
