So, recently I have become frustrated with never being able to figure out what a certain piece of medieval clothing is called. I browse Pinterest more than I care to admit looking up clothing and characters but most of the time I can never find what the clothing is called. And so I created a list of all the pieces of medieval clothing that I know of. Here it is:
Medieval Women's Clothing:
- Gown: A woman's dress or robe, especially one that is full length.
- Bodice: A usually fitted vest or wide, lace-up girdle worn by women over a dress or blouse.
- Stomacher: A richly ornamented garment covering the stomach and chest worn by both sexes in the 15th and 16th centuries, and later worn under a bodice by women.
- Corset: A close fitted undergarment, stiffened with whalebone or similar material and often capable of being tightened by lacing.
- Overcoat: A coat worn over the ordinary indoor clothing, as in cold weather.
- Cloak: A loose outer garment, as a cape or coat.
- Cape: A sleeveless garment of various lengths, fastened around the neck and falling loosely from the shoulders.
