Short-sleeved cotehardie wine red L

This long medieval dress has a tight cut and is made of sturdy cotton fabric (canvas). The skirt section features mitres (fabric wedges) that create a generous hemline. The center front is laced with a firm cotton ribbon, allowing it to be individually adjusted to the body. The ends of the ribbon are finished with a Medieval Aglet so that the ribbon can be easily pulled through the embroidered eyelets.

The cut of the dress is based on medieval depictions from the 13th to 15th centuries. Before this time, women's garments were cut rather loose and hid the shape of the body, but now clothing became more and more form-fitting. Typical of a cotehardie is the lacing or buttons at the center front. Lacing and buttons first appeared at this time and finally made a close fit possible. The ever-widening neckline was also characteristic of these medieval dresses and very popular with women. The cotehardie was combined with an underdress, a veil and a narrow belt. A cotehardie with short sleeves was also often worn with cuffed sleeves, which were attached to the sleeve hem with a pin.

Depictions of a cotehardie from this period can be found, for example, in the Duke of Berry's Book of Hours in the June Leaf or in Robinet Testard's illustrated Book of Simple Medicine (Virgin and Unicorn).
