Sleeveless Medieval Dress, Overdress Lene, red

Medieval Dress / Overdress Lene, sleeveless, red

This long peasant's dress is made of sturdy cotton fabric (twill). The upper part has a close-fitting cut and features a centre front placket with wooden buttons. A lacing at the back allows you to adjust it to a custom fit. Laced up, the dress is reminiscent of a bodice or corsage. The sewn-on skirt piece is gathered at the waist, which makes for a feminine silhouette. Pockets are incorporated on the sides at hip level.

Historically, our sleeveless medieval dress is appropriate for a high to late Middle Ages period style. When combined with the right accessories, it lends itself very well as a basis for the portrayal of a maidservant, a peasant woman or a female pirate. And on cooler days, it can also be worn over a long-sleeved dress or shift.

As authentic as possible, as modern as necessary!
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!
