Medieval dress c. 14th century.

This time, with a veil, like a proper lady. In Medieval times, people didn't take baths very often, even proper ladies. It was customary to wear a veil on the head to cover up one's gross hair, but it was also more proper in public.

Man, I've been meaning to make this tipe of "hat" for ages!
Thank you for the info that it is called a Crispinette :D

And this picture intrigued me because of the belt detail. Is that a different fabric draped on the belt or is it part of the skirt? o.ô

You might also like her website. This woman makes AMAZING medieval headgear. It's where I got my own inspiration.

The belt detail: I just used my regular pant belt, and pulled up the train from the back up into the belt, and draped it back down. So you're seeing the back section of the dress with the trim.

I was going to ask you if you knew that site but then I thought "na, she probably does" cuz it was the first thing that came up when I googled "Crispinette".
Her site is REALLY amazing!!! I drooled for like an hour over her stuff!

I'm just curious... what did you use as a "base" to make the crispinettes so stiff? o.o'
I've been looking at them and wondering forever xD

And yeah, I thought that the belt draping was the dress. Very good idea and it's a beautiful detail too :D

I used an upside-down asian soup bowl covered in tinfoil, then layered some gold woven ribbon-type stuff overtop. I glued it together, and then put other ribbons and beads all over it. THEN! (here comes the good part) I covered a piece of polyester boning with more ribbon and decorated it with beads too. I took an old wig, braided a couple sections and wrapped them around the crispinettes while gluing them down. Then, because you could see inside, I lined them with black fabric.

Wow... asian soup bowls?! I'd have never guessed... Just like the tree skirt cape! hahahah
Awsome though! don't know if I make mine stiff or not. Or make it with boning like a "net" so that you can see the hair in the crispinettes...
Well, first I've gotta make a dress so then I can see what matches! hahaha

Oh and this might sound stupid but... Did women use those poulaines or was it a man's shoe? Or both?! Cuz I've seen paintings of women with a cloth shoe but with a wooden pointed one strapped on =/

Men and women's footwear were analogous, they both wore them. Men usually had them more extravagantly long, because women were expected to behave and not be too... "out there", to put it plainly. Women also wore wool shoes (like socks, really) and had wooden thingers that they strapped on underneath when they walked outdoors. Some were articulated (jointed) with nails and a piece of leather near the toe to allow to walk properly, but some were made of a single piece of wood.

Amazing, I never guessed that would be the reason for the veil but I guess it works...
