Oh, am I watching 'The Tudors'?
Cruising the web for Frankish dress styles I stumbled on this site: http://www.buzzle.com/articles/medieval-clothes-medieval-women-costumes-and-dresses.html
That pink dress!
Also:
"The medieval costumes also included garments called ‘surcoats’. Introduced during the time of Lois IX, these covered the gowns and were often sleeveless."
I LOVED the Lois IX era *nods*
It reminds me of a school project:
"The peasants could not really afford to delve deeply into fashion and clothing. Their resources being limited, the women had to stitch their own clothes made of coarse wool or even trade their clothes for goods. The peasant women generally wore a long dress and very rarely witnessed a change in style. A day at the farm would hardly leave any time for making better clothes. Most of the clothing was handed down through the family."
Disclaimer:, I am by no means perfect, my own SCA wardrobe is sparse, and my knowledge is limited; this just made me giggle.
