The medieval era, or Middle Ages, is dened byhistorians as the period in western European historybetween the fall of Rome in the h century and the riseof the Renaissance in the mid-eenth century. The hthrough the eighth centuries have been called the Dark

Ages Fashions during this time, overall, continued toreect the inuences of the Greek, Roman andByzantine cultures

The illustrations in this book begin with the FrancoNorman era of the Middle Ages when feudal societybecame well established With the rise of the feudal

system in the late 80 0s, style and extravagance of dressbecame a reection of ones position in society By thelate 1400s, the cost of clothing and the lengths of itemssuch as hoods, trains and shoes became regulated bysumptuary laws which remained in effect until the earlysixteenth century

Among the earliest articles of clothing from this timewas a tunic with long sleeves called a bliaud It was wornknee length by men and oor length by women By theeleventh century, men wore the bliaud lengthened to theankle But at the end of the thirteenth century, thebliaud, then called a tunic, was worn by young men amere few inches below the waist, which some peopl

considered outrageously short

The bliaud covered a chainse, or under-tunic, usuallycolored saffron yellow Originally made of heavy wool,linen or hemp, the chainse eventually evolved into apiece of lingerie made of sheer, washable fabric. Anothergarment worn by men and women was the mantle, a

luxuriant cloak fastened in front by a large brooch,buckle, or pin

Increased trade with the Orient and Far East broughtnew dyes to Europe which were used to produce fabricsin brilliant shades of scarlet, green, blue and purpleWhile materials tended to be rich and heavy,embroidered or r trimmed, at this point, delicatelinens, embroideries, velvets, and sheer gauzes becameavailable.

In the thirteenth century, the French weaver BatisteChambray invented a closely woven, sheer fabric calledbatiste which inspired the creation of the surcoat Basedon the sleeveless, cloth covering worn over armor byknights to fend off the glare of the sun, the surcoat wasadopted by both men and women as a replacement forthe bliaud.

The womans surcoat was now open at the sides toreveal a tted dress with long buttoned sleeves called acote-hardie This style was vehemently frowned upon bythe church as being too revealing. Men wore the cote-

hardie too, cut shorter Both men and women worejeweled hip girdles, or belts

In the ourteenth century, parti-colored clothesbecame the rage, rst with men and then with womenGarments were divided into halves or quarters; eachsection was sewn rom a contrasting coor Shoes andstockngs were derent colors as well.

By the eenth century, the surcoat began to disappear. Women wore a belted dress called la robe whichhad a long sleeved, tted bodice joined to a ll skirtMen wore jackets that covered a quilted garment with orwithout sleeves called a pourpoint Originally wornunder armor, the pourpoint evolved into a vest.

For outerwear, women wore owing capes whichwere lined with r in winter. A popular men's cloak wasthe houppelande A trailng robe with long bishop's

sleeves, the houppelande was astened in olds at thewaist by a jeweled belt

Sleeves became important, particularly on the surcoatand the houppelande While some sleeves hung over thehand, others were dramatically longer, with openings at

the elbows or arms to extend through Another style olong sleeves was called the dogaline. The sleeve

openings, the size o large circles, were olded back andastened to the shoulders, revealing a rich abric or rlining.

Dagged edges, a petal-like scalloping, were populardecoration or all parts o clothing rom hats tohouppelandes; only stockings escaped this kind o

embellishment. Small silver bells, avored ornaments ormen and women, appeared on belts, girdles, baldrics (abelt or sash slung across the body om the shoulder tothe opposite hip), hats and the toes o shoes

Head coverings or men included skullcaps, helmets,peaked bonnets, and hats with rolled brims. Crusaderssometimes wore straw hats over their metal helmets todeect the sun By the eleventh century, so abrc capswith peaked tops were in general use. Men also woretoques or bag caps Full and round, they were gatheredonto head-bands. Sugarloa shaped hats made o eltwere worn with and without brims Feathers as hatornaments rst appeared in the medeval era; thepeacock plume was most popular.

By the twelh century, the chaperon, a hooded cape,became the most common headgear or men. Wile thehood remained in ashion through the sixteenth century

with only nobles allowed to wear long hoods, during theourteenth century, the peak o the hood lengtenedinto a lrpipe A streamer o gauze or rbbon whichsometimes reached the oor, liripipes were also restrictedto use by obly Over the years lrppes grew to suchoutrageous lengths that some men wrapped themaround their wrists. Stued turbans, called roundlets

were trimmed with liripipes too.During the Middle Ages, the Christian church

required that women cover their heads. Thepredominant head covering or women was a square,

oblong, or round piece o abrc called a couvreche,also called a wimple or a headrail In earlier centures, thebasic headrai was wrapped around a woman's neck andshoulders, held in place by a crclet or crown Begnningin the welh century, the wimpl bcame a longerlength o abric, usually whit inen, which was drawn upunder a woman's chin and astnd on top o her head.Ovr the wimple, women wore a sparate couvrchewhich was held in place by a crown or crclet. Variatonso these headdresses survived n many rligious ordersuntil the twentieth century In the welh cntury,blonde hair was ashionable. Some women sat or hours

on enclosed terraces waiting or th sun to bleach thertresses; others used alse hair and cosmtcs urng thethirteenth century women began to wear smal, crownlike toques, a headband and chinband, all n whitlinen In the ourtenth cntury th caul cam intoashion Ths syle conceald a woman's hair in a silencase covered with a heavy nt o jwled sver or goldcord. Hair coverings varied widely, rom a simp snoodlike net to cylindrcal cauls worn on er side o the

ace, to a padded horn or heart-shaped headdrssastened over the caul Women oen wore sher veils ontop o the entire combination They plucked the visiblhair at the napes o thir ncks, at their temples andthinned their eyebrows

In the ourteenth cntury, the hennin, or stplheaddress, was introduced by Isabela o Bavara. A talcone, t had a black vlvet band across the tp o thorehead Always draped with a oating or wired vel, theheight o the hennin became so extravagant that theauthorities mposed regulations here too. The hghr thhennin, the more exalted a prson's place n society

The chinband cam into sty during th nthcentury. A olded whte linen wrapped under a woman'schi, astening to a band around hr orehead In another style o head covering, a stined head-band wasshaped into a low toque or crownlk headdress.

Men and women wore similar so leather or abricshoes with elongated toes.
