Vintage Trumpet Sleeves Medieval Chemise Dress |
White Lace Medieval Underdress Chemise |
What is clear is that some sort of undergarment was worn, and it had to be designed to work with the tight sleeved gowns and cotehardies fashionable during 14th century ladies. In the Bohemian King Wencesclaus IV Bible, it depicts repeated examples of serving women at work, stripped to a simple, sleeveless chemise. Experimentation has shown that this chemise fits beautifully under reconstructions of 14th century gowns and smooths the lines of the overdress, creating the elegant silhouette shown in artwork of the period.
The medieval style chemise dress for women are light-weight, white linen, sleeveless or long sleeves with a square neckline. They are comfortable and in a very loose design. Ankle length on most women, the chemise will help improve the lay of your gown without interfering with your train.
