Materials, finishes and tailoring: what sets our dresses apart

Understanding materials is key to choosing among the different medieval dresses we offer. You’ll find options in soft cotton like the Loreley cotton medieval dress — Green, and suede pieces like the Inés suede medieval dress — Red, which provide weight and drape. For a more noble or ceremonial look, there are dresses in blended fabrics and brocades that enhance models such as the Lisenia fleur-de-lis Courtesan Medieval Dress — Mustard and Green or the noble medieval nobility dress — Black. Finishes include internal linings, quality eyelets and trim that respect historical proportions without sacrificing functionality for contemporary use.

Tailoring reinforces durability: double stitching in high-stress areas and reinforcements at the waist or straps, as seen in the Aleiga brown women's surcoat with straps. Additionally, some dresses feature interchangeable sleeves or removable details that make washing and styling easier, for example the trumpet sleeves of the black trumpet-sleeve medieval dress or the Begina model. These technical details make our medieval dresses suitable for performances and reenactments as well as special events, ensuring the design stays impeccable after repeated use.

Styles and featured models: find your ideal cut

The medieval dresses category offers a wide range of styles to suit every historical personality. For a courtly look, pieces like the Ana Courtesan Medieval Dress — Black or the Lisenia fleur-de-lis Courtesan Medieval Dress — Mustard and Green offer elaborate silhouettes and ornamental details. If you prefer a peasant, natural air, the Adelina peasant medieval dress — Black or the Arlette peasant medieval dress — Green provide simplicity and comfort. For vibrant tones and stage presence, the Leandra medieval dress (purple) or the Maiden long medieval dress — Red are options that capture all eyes.

We also offer models specific to Nordic and Viking themes, such as the Scandinavian Viking-Age Dress, model Estrid (dark gray) and the Helga Viking women's dress in red. If you’re looking for a romantic, ethereal proposal, the Constance long medieval dress and the Clara long medieval dress — Cream offer flowing lines and subtle ruffles. For versatile styles that pair well with medieval accessories, the Genefe medieval dress — Red-Natural and the Sophie medieval dress — Red are perfect to adapt to different scenarios: from LARP to themed photo shoots.

How to choose the right size and fit for your dress

Choosing the correct size in medieval dresses is decisive to achieve the desired historical effect and ensure comfort. We recommend measuring bust, waist and hips and comparing them with the size guide on each product page. Many designs include lacing or ties at the back that allow adjustment, as in the sleeveless Lene medieval dress — Red or the Melisande medieval dress — Black. If you’re between two sizes, opting for the larger one is usually advisable because most dresses can be cinched with belts or laces, preserving the proper drape without restricting movement.

Also consider sleeve type and length: wide or trumpet sleeves, like those of the Begina trumpet-sleeve medieval dress, require a shoulder fit that allows freedom. For long dresses, take into account the footwear you’ll wear; the Lientje apron-style dress — Purple and the Eyra medieval dress — Green show how different lengths alter the overall aesthetic. If you want a more structured fit, models with a defined waist or empire cut, such as the Gerda medieval dress — Dark Brown, provide a more defined silhouette without losing authenticity.

Combinations, accessories and occasions to wear your dress

Accessories transform any medieval dress into a complete outfit: wide belts, cloaks, diadems and period-inspired jewelry multiply stage presence. The Sophie medieval dress — Red gains drama with a dark cloak; the Lucrecia Midnight Blue Medieval Dress is enhanced with brooches and long earrings. For historical reenactments or fairs, include pieces like surcoats (for example the Aleiga brown women's surcoat with straps) or aprons such as the Lientje apron-style dress — Purple to achieve authenticity and functionality.

As for occasions, medieval dresses are ideal for themed weddings, photo shoots, LARP and theatrical performances. More formal models like the medieval nobility dress — Black or the Lisenia fleur-de-lis Courtesan Medieval Dress — Mustard and Green fit elegant celebrations, while peasant dresses like the rustic maid medieval dress or the Adelina peasant medieval dress — Black are perfect for rural settings and medieval markets. Browse the category to see each proposed combination and find inspiration in the product pages with accessory suggestions.

Our medieval dresses collection is dominated by natural fabrics like cotton and suede, as well as sturdy blends for greater durability. Cotton, present in the Loreley cotton medieval dress — Green, offers breathability and comfort for prolonged wear at events. Suede, as in the Inés suede medieval dress — Red, provides drape and a more rustic, warm appearance. Blends and brocades are reserved for noble-cut models, adding sheen and structure that work well in ceremonies and photo shoots. Each fabric determines care and drape, so choosing according to the occasion is key.

The main differences lie in cut, ornamentation and the richness of the fabric. Peasant dresses like the Adelina peasant medieval dress — Black or the Arlette peasant medieval dress — Green usually have simple lines, practical fabrics and sober colors designed for mobility and daily use. In contrast, courtesan dresses such as the Ana Courtesan Medieval Dress — Black or the Lisenia fleur-de-lis model include embroidery, color combinations and more elaborate finishes that denote status. These differences help you choose according to the role or event you want to portray.

For Nordic and Viking reenactments we recommend models designed with specific proportions and details, like the Scandinavian Viking-Age Dress, model Estrid (dark gray) and the Helga Viking women's dress in red. These dresses incorporate simple cuts, earthy or muted colors and practical details that fit the Nordic aesthetic. It is also advisable to combine them with appropriate accessories: brooches, simple belts and cloaks that respect the Viking look. In our online store you can find these and other models designed for historical reenactments.

Maintenance depends on the fabric: cotton garments usually tolerate machine washing on delicate cycles with cold water, while suede dresses or those with linings and delicate ornaments require dry cleaning or spot cleaning with specific products. Always check the product page for precise instructions. To preserve vivid colors like the red of the Genefe medieval dress — Red-Natural or the blue of the Lucrecia Midnight Blue Medieval Dress, avoid harsh detergents and direct sunlight when drying. Storing on a hanger with a cover protects shape and ornamentation.

The category offers a wide range of sizes and many designs include the possibility of adjustment via laces, ties or internal waistbands, facilitating alterations in models like the Melisande medieval dress — Black. To choose correctly, take bust, waist and hip measurements and compare them with the size guide for each product. If you’re unsure between two sizes, choosing the larger one usually allows later adjustment with laces or belts; additionally, some pieces include fit recommendations on the product page for a historically accurate and comfortable result. On our online store you’ll find detailed guides for each model.

The medieval dresses collection offers a wide palette: black, red, green, purple, cream, mustard, brown and midnight blue appear in models such as the Morgana medieval dress — Black, the Leandra medieval dress (purple) or the Clara long medieval dress — Cream. Finishes range from rustic suede to ornamental brocade details and trims in noble models. This variety allows each dress to fit the desired setting, whether a fair, a themed wedding or a theatrical production.
