At The Medieval Shoppe, we are passionate about the quality and the authenticity of our historical attire. Since 2009 we have been supplying theatre groups, film production companies, advertising agencies, TV channel costume departments and re-enactors with our historic apparel.
We utilize natural fibres like cotton (which was available in medieval Europe), felt and blended wool. Our dresses are created with an attitude of respect and gratitude towards the historical source material: creating visually appropriate attire that artfully captures the look and spirit of their time period.
Our customers come first to us and we aim to foster experiences that are fun and enjoyable to all our clientele. Our goal is to help women find confidence in costume: this means that our female attire is tailored to the same quality standards as any regular shop-bought garment. Many “fancy dress” retailers market historically incorrect, whimsical attire that is made from low quality synthetic material. Such garments are so badly made that they are often fit to throw away after their first use. We provide women with quality historic costuming that not only compliments their figure, but also empowers them to feel confident in their new historic persona. Let us make you look fabulous.

Important
This dress is made from natural cloth and natural dyes. Dry cleaning is recommended, or simply dip quickly in tepid water a few times then leave the garment in direct strong sunlight to dry. A SMALL size dress would be size 10, a MEDIUM = size 12, and a LARGE size 14.
This is a beautifully-made dress and was a pleasure to wear. However, when I washed it (in cold water) the dark red ran into cream ... so the cream parts of the dress are now very bright pink. If you buy this dress, I recommend washing it with a colour fixative. [Note from MEDIVAL SHOPPE - sorry about that issue, dry cleaning is recommended by us]. frenchpress@bigpond.com on 3rd Apr 2021
Thank you very much. I bought this for a Barbarian feast I am attending in June. The dress is beautiful, and I am most impressed with the length, as I am 5 ft 9 and it slightly touches the floor. The shape of the dress is wonderful and fits grand. I am looking forward to showing this off to everybody on the day. Unknown on 20th May 2016
