About Medieval Costumes

Medieval costumes lean on texture and layering, leather, chainmail-look fabric, heavy cloaks, over anything sleek or modern. Skade's Viking styling, Holga's D&D gear, Princess Elodie's fantasy-royal look, the era shows up in the weight and roughness of the materials.

Layering sells this more than any single piece. A cloak over a tunic over a belt reads as period-appropriate even when none of the individual pieces are historically exact.

Medieval Costumes: FAQ
