As mentioned in my previous post I am making a wool outfit based on the obnoxiously striped ensembles in the Cocharelli treatise on vices.
I was initially planning to make both the cotte; the undertunic, with vertical stripes. But I changed my mind because horisontal stripes are much more common in the 13th and 14th centuries, which would make it much more versatile, since I could wear it on its own. And looking at the image source I noticed that the only thing you can see of the undergown (at least when not moving, since it's split at the sides, front and back) is the sleeves. I might regret this later, but I don't think so.
And now I've got a new, pretty dress for the Medieval week on Gotland, which starts this Saturday. This is my first visit since 2016, where I went for three days and stayed with my friend Renike, who lives there. This year I am going for a whole week, and staying in a hostel with my friend Sara,
I will make a proper page for the outfit when the whole is finished later this autumn. I will even have fixed my hair for photos then ;) Though it isn't that uncommon to see women with loose hair udner veils in the 1330s.
