German Gown - Medieval Renaissance Clothing, Costumes medieval dress

The unique design allows the gown to flatter a variety of figures from the
under-endowed to the more voluptuous.

This c. 1525 gown is made of two pieces: The outer gown of cotton velveteen
fully-lined in satin and the inset, cotton velveteen. The inset is worn over the
Classic chemise. The reversible to black inset provides a lift for your bosom and
holds in your tummy. In medieval times, the inset might have been a complete
dress extending to the floor. We chose to create this abbreviated design which just
may have been the choice of our medieval ancestors. The inset is reversible and
machine washable.

The outer gown is then worn over the inset and chemise. It laces up the front "V,"
where the inset shows through. The forearms lace up to elbow for a snug fit and
the upper parts of the sleeves have small elastic pieces for a comfortable fit.
These pieces may be shortened with a safety pin or a quick stitch should your
arms increase or decrease in size. This gown is worn with a Classic chemise
designed to poof through the slashes. Click here to view size chart.
