Wide shot of a living room with black floor and white, glass-doored bookshelves. In the centre is a mannequin with a c.1200 CE red silk floor length dress, standing in front of a grey backdrop. To the right and the left are diffuser lamps, and in the centre front the camera is visible on a tripod, Inception-like.

I turned my living room into a photo studio last night. Photographing red fabric is hard! One red silk, one red velvet. While not perfect, the final shots are better than any I tried before without the setup. Completed outfits are part of my creative practice PhD #HistoricDress #MedievalDress

Pencil sketch of the interior of a church, looking down the chancel and nave.

Sketch of carved figures on a medieval seat for clergy in a medieval church.

After fieldwork at St Andrews church, Heckington I did my usual studies around the subject. For this project it included figure studies of 14th century costumes. A sketch of the nave + figures on the church sedilia.

Wool, today's #fallforcostume theme, is another frequently used fabric for me! A few years ago, I tried "snow washing" my wool garments - they look pretty cool laying out in the snow!

Photos from the Medieval Week: Sunday to Tuesday. This was my first medival week on Gotland since 2016, when I was over for three days. My last whole medieval week was in 2010. I used to go (almost) every year between 1993 and 2010, and we always camped. And often brought our children. So this was a very different week: The first time I stayed at a B&B, The first time since 2003 (except for those three days in 2016) without children. They are now 30 and 21, so they have their own lives. I had a marvellous time. I have not yet decided if I miss camping at Visby. I can camp at Double Wars, which doesn't require bringing a car and trailer on a ferry. There is also much less stuff to take care of afterwards. I have washed the linens, spot cleaned or hand washed the wool and silk gowns, cleaned the shoes and greased them. No big tent to dry, Anyway: Photos! Sunday: Arrival by plane, and getting to the B&B. Took a walk down to the market, where I met Hans Gunnar from Eikthyrnir , got a nice beer, and bought some seriously pretty shoes. With a rubber sole attached so I won't slip on the cobblestones and die. Or at least hurt myself. Wearing my 13th century wool cotte, that I made in 2004. And have worn at practically every camping event since then. Look at the pretty fringe that I sewed to the bottom of the new striped gown. And the sexy red shoes. The hose are my very patched linen hose from 2005. Also used A LOT. I might have to make new ones, because they are falling to pieces. Early bed time, because I had fallen asleep at 1 am that morning, and woken up at 3 am. Monday: Sara and I went to the market. Which is quite fabulous. Some not so period trinkets and fantasy clothing, but also awesome things like fabrics from Historiska Rum, The Historical Fabric Store, Medeltidsmode, and Korps/Ravencraft. The two former are all about reproduction fabrics, while the two latter are cheaper, and you can still find _really_ good stuff. And reproduction pottery from Krohns Krukmakeri etc etc. There were sellers of plantdyed fabric and yarn, of armour, of musical instruments, of black smith work, and of many other things. And entertainment. This is Arkadia. I wore the striped gown, and Sara took a photo of me in the botanical garden. The bwlt is tied high, early 14th century Italian style, and the knitted cap is also Italian from this period. I made a post with both documentation for the style, and a knitting pattern. it is here. Hollyhocks. Then Sara and I went to watch what turned out to be one of the absolute highlights of the week: "Sveriges medeltida landskapslagar - the musical". Yes. It is a musical about the Swedish medieval county laws. Yes, it is fabulous. * Note: If you for some reason have a need to read the Nordic medieval laws, but don't read the Scandinavian languages, there is a quite new series of scholarly translations published by Routledge. You can probably access them through a university library, at least through ILL. My old supervisor Prof. Thomas Lindkvist did the one on the oldest Swedish one: The Västgöta law. After dinner made by Sara she had a lie down, and I went swimming in the sea, and for an evening walk. Tuesday: Tuesday meant mimosa breakfast at Hans Gunnar's market tent. There were lots of us, both from the SCA, and other people. A great time was had. This was before the market opened, so we could have our orange juice and bubbly bottles on the table. I wore my printed wool gown from the early 14th century. And afterwards I bought three metres of striped wool from Historiska Rum (link above) that I have lusted after for moths. It might have been the mimosa, but I am happy anyway. Then I went to a three hour workshop in high medieval music ( I sing, I don't play anything well enough for this) with dr Karin Lagergren and Gustav Näsman Olai , who also plays in the medieval ensemble "Medeltidsbandet Själ". It was so much fun. I really miss singing medieval and renaissance music. Of course the workshop was held in a medieval building. Then we had dinner, and it was evening, and I went swimming and walking again. It was windy and fun waves. Here I am wearing my handspun, handwoven cotton dress. It ought to be a half linen/half cotton weave, but I couldn't get both that and handspun and hand woven. It is an Italian style from c 1300, where half cottons was used a lot for lower class clothing. You can read about the dress here. Because, if you didn't know this already: I rarely make anything without documenting the shit out of it. Wednesday and Thursday will be the next post.

Make do and mend My beloved, trusted, linen hose, sewn over fifteen years ago are getting worn in places. Last year I mended one, and now I mended the other one

Since mostly leaving META I think that I will get back to updating my blog more again. #medievaldress #mending evashistoricalcostumes.blogspot.com/2025/05/make-do-and-mend...

Trying on this underdress I made makes my back look good 👀
I made this for my Twilight Princess cosplay I'm working on, but I also wanted to make it like a medieval bathing dress!

Medieval plaid! A late 14th - 15th century dress made of wool, using my standard patterning instructions for this period, the same as in my tutorial. #medievaldress #renfaire

A full body illustration of a woman sitting on an ornate red and gold bench. She is on a roofed castle balcony, with decorated castle walls behind her, and a secondary castle visible in the distance among trees. She wears a floor-length medieval style dress in muted blue, with gold accents. Her hands rest in her lap, and a red rug is beneath her feet. Beside her, a side table holds a vase of colorful roses. Her shoulders are covered in a large fur cape, white with gold spots. She wears a golden crown, resting on top of her half-up half-down braided hairestyle.

An anime style illustration of a woman smirking with a hand to her lips. She stands in a cathedral with enormous arched windows, and ornate railings. She wears a medieval style purple dress, with gold accents, and a fur-lined cape. She has teal hair done in an updo with braids, and matching teal eyes. A golden crown rests on her head.

Me in a wool hood I made which is rusty coloured with a little dangle at the back and the shoulders are also covered

I made a 14th century hood based on finds from Greenland in the book Medieval Garments Reconstructed. So flipping cosy! #historybounding #medievaldress #sewingproject

Two figures standing, one is wearing a floor length tunic in a pale rose and seems to be a man, the sleeves are tight, and the figure is wearing a hat while holding what appears to be a scepter. The figure on the left is wearing an overlong tunic (dress) that pools on the floor. It is creamy coloured and shaded in red, possibly representing a red dress, but one should not make assumptions. Also, colour in art does not equal colour of actual textiles or dress. This figure has also extremely long hanging sleeves with one slong across the neck like a scarf. It seems to be a woman.

Another hanging-sleeve-cum-scarf from the same manuscript. Artistic idiosyncracy, most likely. c.1170 Two Nobles. Hunterian Psalter - Sp Coll MS Hunter 229, fol.2v. University of Glasgow Library, Special Collections #MedievalSky #MedievalDress 2/2

Medieval manuscript zodiac sign of a woman standing in a blue dress, holding a palm front. Her hanging sleebes are incredibly long. So much so, she has the one from her left wrist slung across her neck.

Who wouldn't want to wear one's sleeve as a scarf. c.1170 Hunterian Psalter, England, Sp Coll MS Hunter 229, fol.4v. Zodiac Sign of Virgo. I assume she is holding a palm frond, but martyr attribute? #MedievalDress #MedievalSky 1/2

manucript illumination mostly drawn with dark ink and red accents. it shows a tower to the right on which a long-haired woman stand, extending her arm with a long hanging sleeve that dangles down. In front of the tower is a parade of men in different lengths of tunics. Two hooded men with beards and cloaks carrying what looks like the ark of the covenant perhpas.

Close-up of the woman, Michol, as she stands on top of the tower and points with her arm.

Not museum photos today, but Marvelous Manuscripts: c.1180 Michol, wife of David. Psalm commentary with image cycle of life of David, Msc. Bibl. 59, fol. 4r. Staatsbibliothek Bamberg, CC License 4.0. Excellent view of the bliault's hanging sleeve and overlong tight shift sleeve. #MedievalDress

Book cover in dark blue with a big square below the title of Dress accessoties 1150-1450, which shows the late medieval illumination of a man dressed in a pale blue tunic and dark brown hood working on a piece of wood. It looks like he is making beads for rosaries, as several are hanging from a rod in front of him, on top of a trestle table.

Quartered collection of detaild photos from the 15th century painting. The top left shows two men, one on the ground. The standing one wears green hose and a red tunic. The one on the ground wears a light coloured pourpoint (?) tight fitting jacket. The top right image shows a closeup of the back of the calf of the red hose. The lacing is visible, and explains how the close fitting down the calf would have been achieved. The bottom left image clearly shows the detail of the construction of the pourpoint (?) with the obvious seams making the panelled tailoring visible. The bottom left shows a curious way of closing the side seam of the red close-fitting short tunic with a button.

Daily museum object: 1464-66 Master of the Lyversberg Passion. Artist workshop active in Cologne 1460-90. Fascinating close-up details of lacing in hose, panelled construction and side button. Photos taken in August 2015 in the Wallraf-Richartz Museum, Cologne. CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 #MedievalDress
