Get the look: 15th-century woman in medieval dress Frideswinde

For this composition, we were inspired by paintings from the early Renaissance. We have set up a beautiful table with a still life and played out several domestic scenes between the lady of the house and her servant.

Are you curious about the other characters in this composition?

The dress is based on an illustration from a book of hours around 1510. The miniature shows a scene from peasant life, so the dress may not be entirely suitable for a lady of rank.

The underdress used is a bath dress based on an image from the Wenceslas Bible. The bath dress or baignoire was usually made from lightweight fabrics such as linen and was often worn under regular clothing between the 14th and 16th centuries.

The necklace is based on jewelry from the Tudor period.

The shoes are based on various examples from the 12th to the 15th century.

The buckle of the belt is based on an original made between 1390 and 1420 and was found in Newhamptonshire, England.
