Late 14th-early 15th Century dark green damask cottehardie (fully lined with linen) (gold lacing was temporary, the final laces are green). I absolutely love this dress 😍💚 I love the colour and the fabric and the silhouette and those skirt pleats and the front lacing and the sleeve buttons, and well, everything xD 

Also featuring the linen chemise and the decorative linen veil, beaded with a lot of faux pearls two days before a con (con crunch ftw xDD)

Late 14th-early 15th Century reenactment - ✨⚜️ First pic is harp playing Medieval illumination style 😂 Medieval art is often such a ride 🤣 ⚜️✨ I sang and played a 14th Century song (‘Douce Dame Jolie’ by Guillaume de Machaut) back in December 2019 at the Yule concert of my music academy and decided to fully go for it and dress accordingly in my late 14th-early 15th Century outfit 😁🎶

Late 14th Century-early 15th Century damask cottehardie with linen chemise (comissioned), tablet-woven silk fillet (comissioned), decorative veil beaded with faux pearls (by me), leather embossed belt and purse (comissions), at a Tolkien convention back in 2019. Featuring Tarmaerika and DarkSapiens.

The hairstyle is a typical 14th Century style with double 3-strand braids coiled around the ears and crossed over the head to be gathered at the nape of the neck. I used 2 open pins which are very similar to those used back then, as well as a wool burgundy and moss green paranda braided with my hair to add thickness and colour to the style.

✨🍃 Tolkien throwback - Elven variation of my 14th century cottehardie for a night of music and reading at the 2018 EstelCon, the annual convention of the Spanish Tolkien Society. With @tarmaerika as Bilbo ✨📚🍰 . Fun fact - This was the debut of this cotte, and at the end of the night I found out that it had ripped off completely at one shoulder, just by raising my arms 😱😅. Had it altered with historically accurate triangular gores at the shoulder afterwards, and now I can fully move my arms without it ripping, which is good 😅, but the shoulders have become baggier than I’d like because with this synthetic damask (which is gorgeous, but not flexible at all, compared to say, wool cottes) you can’t have both 😅

New additions for my late 14th-early 15th Century cotte outfit ⚜️! A pair of burgundy Medieval shoes and striped 'hose' from Armstreet ✨, and some tablet-weaving garters from @/emelunashop on Etsy ✨. I got it all in dark green and burgundy to fit the colour pattern of my damask cotte ensemble 💚💗

Also, some casual test pics (I since had the cotte slightly altered to remove a couple of front seams and give me more lacing allowance, and lowered the chemise's neckline as well to better fit the cotte), featuring the open hood and a couple of styles with the (faux) pearl-beaded linen veil. I have pretty much shied from the wimple styles in my Medieval reenactment so far because well, the baggage for female headwear is deeply steepled in religious patriarchy and gendered modesty mindsets, and that issue has always bugged me 😬. It can look interesting from a purely fashion standpoint, but yeah, it's hard for me to separate the two from a feminist pov. Still, I tried it very casually with a separate linen kerchief to see how it would look (minus the braids) 😅
