This outfit is inspired by the medieval plague doctor. We have given it our own twist.

The plague doctors wore special clothing intended to protect them from the disease. The beak-shaped nose of their mask was filled with strong-smelling substances such as herbs, flowers, or vinegar. It was believed at the time that the plague was spread by bad air, so these scents were used to purify the air and protect the doctor.

Their long robe covered the entire body. The colors red and white were in some cases associated with medieval doctors and surgeons. Red was often associated with blood and the human body, while white was associated with cleanliness and purity. However, there were no strict uniforms or standard clothing for these professions.

The overdress in this composition is unfortunately no longer made. We offer several alternatives.

A belt is an essential part of the outfit, as the doctor could hang pouches with medicines and other medical instruments on it.

Plague doctors usually prescribed herbal preparations as medicines, but the success of these treatments was limited. They also used other methods, such as bloodletting, administering laxatives, and the use of prayers and religious rituals. Leeches were sometimes used to draw "bad blood" from the body, as it was believed this could cure the disease.

The plague doctor used a staff or a staff to examine patients without making direct contact. It was believed that the disease spread through physical contact. The doctor could also use it to keep people at a distance.

The fur collar provides an extra dramatic effect.

Because as much of the body as possible had to be covered, we opted for a pair of matching high boots.

The plague doctors usually wore gloves made of leather. These leather gloves were intended to protect their hands from direct contact with bodily fluids or other potentially infectious materials and to cover any wounds or cuts.
