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 theΒ Hortus Deliciarum, a late 12th c. encyclopedic compendium, or in the 1150 illustrated manuscript of Terence'sΒ 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
  • Material: 100% cotton

    Aivan upea! Mekko jÀÀ lyhyelle henkilâlle hieman pitkÀksi, mutta ei pahasti. Olen 155 cm pitkÀ ja ostin S-koon mekon. NyâreillÀ saa mukavasti kiristettyÀ sopivan kokoiseksi!

    Ihana leninki mikÀ sopii monelle vartalolle nyârien ansiosta. Hihat joudun vÀhÀn lyhentÀmÀÀn kÀytÀnnân syista,koska soitan keski-aika yhtyeessÀ ja ne tarttuvat sitran tai kanteleen kieliin. MiellyttÀvÀ hengittÀvÀ kangas.

    Napakka, hyvΓ€nlaatuinen ja hyvin istuva mekko. Mekko sai jo runsaasti kehuja kavereilta. TΓ€mΓ€n laitan kuoromme 10- vuotisjuhlaan esiintymisasuksi. KΓ€ytΓ€n sitΓ€ myΓΆs kesΓ€mekkona lomaillessa. HyvΓ€ ostos, suosittelen. πŸ‘

    Laadukas ja kauniisti leikattu mekko. EhkΓ€ olisin voinut ottaa yhden koon pienemmΓ€n mutta tΓ€mΓ€n saa kyllΓ€ nyΓΆritettyΓ€ sopivaksi. Olen kyllΓ€ ilahtunut tΓ€stΓ€, esiintymisasuksi.
