Medieval Dress / Viking Dress / Shift Ana, natur
This loose cut medieval dress is a floor-length dress with so-called gores at the sides. Gores, wedge-shaped / triangular pieces of fabric added to expand the shape of a garment, gave medieval clothing a generous flare. The gathered neckline is based on an archaeological textile fragment found in Pskov, Russia, and believed to have belonged to a 10th century Viking dress. It has a slit on the front and can be closed with ties. The cuffs are also equipped with ties to create gathered sleeves.
The dress is made from plain cotton fabric and can be worn either as a shift or as an outer garment. The white and the natural-coloured models are slightly transparent against the light.
When combined with a coif and an apron or surcoat, this dress is for example ideal for the portrayal of a maidservant.

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!
