Women wore long gowns with sleeveless tunics and wimples (a woman's head cloth) to cover their hair. Men wore stockings and tunics. Sheepskin cloaks and woolen hats, mittens were worn in winter, along with leather boots. Most people wore wool clothing with linen undergarments. The brighter colors and better materials with a longer jacket showed wealth. Holy orders wore long woolen habits that copied Roman clothing.
Dresses
The basic female clothing for all classes over the period was a simple sleeved tunic dress, with a vertical slit, usually laced, at the bodice (the part of a woman's dress covering the body between the neck or shoulders and the waist). The hems might be decorated with embroidery, for the upper classes. Hose were apparently often worn underneath, their length mainly depending on the weather, as the dress always came near to the ankle. An under-tunic might also be worn, and cloaks and mantles for winter or outside wear.
Wipmle
A wimple is a garment worn around the neck and chin, and which usually covers the head. Its use developed among woman in early medieval Europe. At many stages of medieval culture it was looked down upon for a married woman to show her hair. A wimple might be elaborately starched, and creased and folded in prescribed ways, even supported on wire or wicker framing.
Linen Undergarments
These linen undergarments and shoes represent the undergarments of a really well dressed, and wealthy lady back in medieval Europe.
