Medieval dress / cotehardie isabell velvet dress, long sleeves, green



This medieval velvet dress has a body-hugging cut and a full, flowing skirt. The so-called geren (wedges of fabric) used in the skirt create a generous hemline, making the dress sway particularly beautifully when walking. The sleeves are wide and gathered by wide cuffs. The neckline and cuffs have satin trim, and the center front is buttoned with numerous antique-brass-look metal buttons. There are also buttons on the cuffs. The floor-length dress is very elegant thanks to the heavy cotton velvet, and the subtle details enhance this look.



The cut of the dress is based on medieval representations from the 13th to 15th centuries. Whereas women's clothing had previously been rather loose and concealed the body's contours, it now increasingly clung to the body. The cotehardie (German: roughly "cotte risqué" ), which originally emerged in France from the loose cotte , probably owes its name to this body-hugging cut.



Laces or a strip of buttons down the center front are typical of a cotehardie. Buttons first appeared at this time and finally made a close fit possible. The numerous buttons were tightly pressed so that they wouldn't open when worn tight. The increasingly wide neckline was also characteristic of these dresses and was very popular among women of the late Middle Ages and the Renaissance. The cotehardie was usually combined with a slip dress, a veil, and a narrow belt.



Depictions of a cotehardie from this period can be found, for example, in the Rosenroman , an Old French verse novel of the 13th century (original title: Le Roman de la Rose ), or in the Speculum Humanae Salvationis , a Christian devotional book (called a Heilsspiegel ) from the early 14th century. Also on the Moor. The dress found at Moy, Ireland, classified between the 14th and 15th centuries, is a cotehardie with numerous buttons.



Velvet appeared in the Mediterranean region in the 14th century and was predominantly woven in Italy. The elaborate design and the fact that this fabric was usually made of silk made velvet tunics exclusive garments. Velvet was very popular in Burgundian fashion and during the Renaissance.

Care instructions:

Cotton velvet should not be machine washed, as this will cause the velvet to wrinkle irreversibly. You should also not iron velvet, as this will cause the pile to lose depth. We recommend brushing light stains with a clothes brush in the direction of the pile. If there is more severe contamination, we recommend taking the dress to a dry cleaner.
