I wonder if in 3000 years they'll be playing Ed Sheran pop music while showing them how we dress 😂😂

It's funny how we in the 21st c assume all previous fashions were hideously uncomfortable. But this looks far preferable to modern jeans, with their tight waistbands and impractical fabrics.. and the idea of a few linen wraps sure beats modern bras, which are simply never comfortable beyond three hours, max.

I wish we could wear dresses like these without seeming weird. turn up to shops in pjs and no one bats an eye lid. smh

I once read that during the Medieval period, if there was someone giving birth, it was common practice to make sure that everything was open to ensure an easy labour. Women in the house would unbraid their hair, loosen the ties on clothes, remove the girdle, as it was believed that anything tied up would make for a difficult birth. Similarly, men were either told to leave the house or loosen ties and belts, which would mean removing the purse that most men, and many women tied to their belt. They even went so far as to uncover storage jars, open storage chests, open shutters and windows, and unlock doors. If there were books in the house, which was rare, they were taken off shelves and left open.

All in favor of bringing back medieval dress styles, say aye!

This is probably my favorite age for period dresses. Nothing to complicated, the gowns looked warm and comfy, you could move easily in them, and they looked quite simple yet beautiful.

So I’m assuming Brave is set in the 12th century

Did any one else noticed that this is a more realistic version of Merida's mom?

[@dr.strangelove5709]

How did we go from that to yoga pants?

Only 1100s kids will remember

This is amazing! Thank you! What would differentiate a medieval princess or queen? My daughters are aiming to dress up for the medieval festival we have coming up and they're wanting to be authentic princesses <3

Please let this make a comeback

Women also used the hair of the dead it their plaits. The church tried to abolish it but ladies like to look good.

Where did you get the leather shoes or did you make them?

That flag reminds me of the flag of Deheubarth. Greetings! I am the 29th great-granddaughter of the warrior princess, Princess Gwenllian! 😊
