Frequently Asked Questions

What did lords and ladies wear in medieval times?

Social standing and wealth played significant roles in what men and women wore during the Middle Ages. Women of wealth and status wore floor-length dresses and tunics like peasant women, but the choice of material was very different.

Medieval noblewomen wore gowns made of luxurious and colorful fabrics with elaborate embroidery. Later, their clothing only became more intricate and opulent. Wealthy noblewomen’s clothing was adorned with silver, gold, and pearl dress embellishments and accessories.

Men’s medieval clothing consisted of the basics (many of which are still worn today), such as tunics, doublets, cloaks, robes, vests, baldrics, jerkins, sword belts, breeches, tights, hats, and pointed leather boots and shoes.

What are your medieval and renaissance gowns made of?

Many of our Medieval and Renaissance clothes are made from fine materials, such as cotton velveteen, cotton twill, satin, and silk, to showcase a luxurious look fit for ladies of wealth and status. For historically accurate costumes, we also have less elaborate garments from common fabrics, like soft, lightweight cotton and cotton canvas.

Medieval Collectibles’ medieval- and Renaissance-style women’s clothes pay close attention to details, like the fabric, trim, neckline, bodice, corset, and embellishments, to provide period- and status-appropriate attire for historical reenactments, live-action role-playing (LARP) games, cosplay events, costume parties, and even weddings.
