Women's medieval costumes

SPES gives you an opportunity to complete a medieval costume. In this section you will find historical body linen, under garments (woolen or linen cotte) and outer garments like medieval dresses, houppelande, robe, coats, and other medieval costumes. You can complete your set with women's headwear (kerchiefs, straw hats) and leather shoes.



This assortment consists of medieval women's clothing from the whole period, starting with the Hedeby dress (inspired by the vikings' clothes) and finishing with the 14th century clothing and 15th century medieval costumes.


All of our medieval dresses are made in accordance with fashion and based on the sources. Thanks to this, every medieval woman reenactor looking for a gown will find here what she needs.


Medieval costumes for women - dresses, gowns, robes, cloaks, and more!

There is no such thing as one, all-purpose medieval woman's costume. In the Late Middle Ages, between the 13th and 15th century, gowns and other garments from women's fashion were undergoing numerous changes. Clothing in the 13th century, medieval dresses primarily, was usually loose and not fitted to the body (cotte, surcoat).


Around the middle of the 14th century, clothing like medieval dresses started to change and became well-fitted (cotehardie, Burgundian dress). At the end of the 14th century, women's medieval costumes started to appear again, very spacious, with a cloche-cut and fastened with a belt under breasts (houppelande, robe.) Such medieval dresses were used among other garments in 1400s fashion, together creating a wide range of medieval female clothing.


That's not all! In our shop we offer you a lot of patterns and colors of fabric used in medieval costumes, both wool and linen. We are not afraid of sewing medieval dresses from the printed fabrics, e.g. the printed linen for 14th century clothing, with a number of various patterns referring to 1400s fashion.


You will find here: medieval dresses, fabrics, and custom medieval costumes for women

We offer you both casual medieval dresses and court gowns. What is more, you can find here a wide range of woolen coats, indispensable during cold, windy days. Shoes for women are available in two categories: hand sewn or machine sewn. We can also prepare hand sewn medieval gowns for the most exacting customers.


Our assortment consists of medieval dresses with both long and short sleeves, tied up in the front or sides, well-fitted or loose, representative or casual. Perfect as a court gown, pilgrim or town clothing.


To finish/trim your medieval dress we can use two different standards.
- The average standard means machine sewn but all visible seams on your medieval woman costume are handmade.
- If you pay attention to every detail we can offer you a high standard. In this case your medieval gown will be full hand sewn.


Aside from medieval costumes available in our regular offer, we are open for special custom orders for medieval dresses for women. Write us an email with an inquiry, description and pictures. We will prepare a lady costume you have been dreaming about.
