Description of the Product
The look and cut of the dress follow the fashion of the 12th century, around which this type of garment, called a bliaut , was becoming popular. The bliaut could range from calf- to floor-length, and it was notably characterized by a side lacing, a flared skirt and trumpet sleeves. Historical illustrations of bliauts can be found amongst others in the Hortus Deliciarum, a late 12th c. encyclopedic compendium, or in the 1150 illustrated manuscript of Terence's Comedies. Bliaut dresses were used from the eleventh to the thirteenth century in Western Europe, most notably in areas of French influence, but also in the areas of modern Germany and Italy.
This long medieval dress is made of sturdy cotton fabric. It is loosely tailored and can be tightened with laces on both sides for an individual fit. The color contrasting sleeves and bottom hem create the impression of a shift worn underneath a short-sleeved dress. The neckline and sleeves are trimmed with embroidery.
- Available in sizes: S, M, L, XL, and XXL

Aivan upea! Mekko jää lyhyelle henkilölle hieman pitkäksi, mutta ei pahasti. Olen 155 cm pitkä ja ostin S-koon mekon. Nyöreillä saa mukavasti kiristettyä sopivan kokoiseksi!

Great, nice material good fit, sleeves were little long for me.

Ihana leninki mikä sopii monelle vartalolle nyörien ansiosta. Hihat joudun vähän lyhentämään käytännön syista,koska soitan keski-aika yhtyeessä ja ne tarttuvat sitran tai kanteleen kieliin. Miellyttävä hengittävä kangas.

Napakka, hyvänlaatuinen ja hyvin istuva mekko. Mekko sai jo runsaasti kehuja kavereilta. Tämän laitan kuoromme 10- vuotisjuhlaan esiintymisasuksi. Käytän sitä myös kesämekkona lomaillessa. Hyvä ostos, suosittelen. 👍

Laadukas ja kauniisti leikattu mekko. Ehkä olisin voinut ottaa yhden koon pienemmän mutta tämän saa kyllä nyöritettyä sopivaksi. Olen kyllä ilahtunut tästä, esiintymisasuksi.

Todella kiva ja laadukkaasti ommeltu mekko! Kokoa helppo säätää kyljissä olevien nyörien ansiosta.

Hyvän laatuinen ja koko vastaa hyvin. Istuu hyvin päälle
