Medieval Dress Alvina, red/natural-coloured
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 colour 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.
The look and cut of the dress follow the fashion of the 12th century, around which this type of garment, also called a bliaut (or bliaud), was becoming popular. The bliaut, which could range from calf- to floor-length, was notably characterized by a side lacing, a flared skirt and trumpet sleeves. It was also often embellished with trimmings.
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.

This medieval dress is part of Battle-Merchant's line of period clothing and medieval garments for men, women and children. From the first sketch to the last stitch, this garment was planned, designed and handcrafted with particular attention to detail. Our clothes are modeled (sometimes accurately, sometimes less so) on historical examples, grave finds and original museum pieces where they exist. We always endeavour to keep the necessary adjustments to today's standards, e.g. in terms of size and manufacturing process, to a minimum. Just see for yourself!

Überraschend gute Qualität
Wir haben zwei Kleider von Battle-Merchant bestellt. Da der Stückpreis nur rund € 50,00 betrug, hatten wir Zweifel an der Qualität und Verarbeitung, aber diese waren unbegründet; alles war erstklassig! Die Größen entsprachen genau der Tabelle und den in Deutschland üblichen Maßen. Besonders gefallen hat uns, dass die Kleider möglichst authentisch gestaltet sind und die Materialien entsprechend ausgewählt wurden. Dazu gab es noch interessante Hintergrundinformationen. Wir sind vollauf zufrieden!
Schönes Kleid
Gut verarbeitet und besteht aus Baumwolle, nicht Polyester. Einfach toll.
