Product Information

A kirtle is a type of garment that was commonly worn by women in the Middle Ages. It typically consisted of a bodice and a skirt that was either sewn together or held in place by a belt or drawstring. Kirtles were usually made from simple, sturdy fabrics such as wool or linen and were worn as either an undergarment or an outer garment, depending on the occasion and social status of the wearer. In some regions, such as England, the kirtle was a standard garment worn by both men and women and was often worn as an undergarment beneath other clothing. Evolved Chaperones: During the 15th century, chaperones transformed and started featuring larger bourrelets. These new chaperones became a status symbol, and people began using significant amounts of fabric to make them. The Florentine chaperon of 1515 is an excellent example as it used over 9 meters of cloth. The oversized bourrelets added a touch of elegance and fashion to the hood, eventually leading to the development of big hats in the later middle ages. A decorative band for the wrist, either attached to a garment like a cuff or separate.
