Completed:
November 2007 Worn at: various
Medieval Festivals
Why I chose this
costume: This was really my first try at medieval clothing. Although I did
some research, it wasn't all that extensive. This is by no means
a historically accurate garment, except perhaps somewhat visually
convincing.
The costume is comprised of a red crushed velvet
surcote (overgown) with "hells gates" (open sides), braided trim detail and long
leather belt, worn over a cotton cotehardie which laces up the back. The
cotehardie also has lace up cuffs. Worn with a taffeta-covered hat with barbette and veil.
