Medieval Clothing
Medieval garments are mercifully simplistic in shape. This means they're very easy to make - in theory!
​
Undergarments are the same shape as outerwear, but they are nearly always linen. Outerwear can be linen or wool fabric, depending on the season - and whether you've just come across a colour or pattern you couldn't resist!
​
In total, a kyrtle (tunic) takes me around 16 hours to make and finish. That includes two fittings to ensure that the length and shape is correct for the wearer.
​
I sew everything by hand which ensures authenticity where it's needed!
​
I'm happy to make garments for you, or teach you how to make them yourself.
Pricing and timescales
When making whole garments such as kyrtles (tunics) or similar, I started out charging £10 per hour. This keeps things easy to calculate!
As I've made more clothing and gained more experience, I've kept the pricing per garment the same - £160 - as I feel this allows for improvements in technique as well as being able to finish garments in a little less time.
​
All I need is your chosen fabric and your measurements, and two appointments booked with you for fittings.
