Hooded Dress

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. 

This enchanting medieval dress has lace-up sides, wide flared trumpet sleeves and even has a practical hood, so that you, as a fair maiden in your gown, are always well protected from our Australian sun, wind and weather. In terms of fashion, the long dress is amongst the most classic of medieval dresses, yet at the same time beautiful and suitable for everyday use in the home. It has been tailored from a cotton / viscose mixture. The high proportion of cotton ensures that the garment is hard-wearing and has a particularly authentic look, whilst the viscose makes it comfortable on your skin. Despite the long sleeves, the dress is not just for autumn or winter, the sleeve ends are flared from the crook of the elbows and allow great freedom of movement - showing off any graceful bracelet you may choose to wear. With the lace-up sides, the dress can be adjusted to your body. This isn't just extremely practical but also looks superb. One thing is certain: with this hooded dress, you'll be elegantly in the centre of attention. 

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.

Free Postage for Australia & New Zealand

Some medieval clothing websites may carry “.au” at the end of their address and have pricing in Australian dollars. They may even offer free postage, giving the impression that you’re dealing with an Australian business: but when you search the site for contact details, such as an address or telephone number, these are strangely absent! This is because such websites are located in places like Germany or China. When you order from such businesses, you are essentially being tricked into placing an overseas order, which of course means the delivery will take weeks, the risk of loss or damage is increased, and if there’s an issue with the apparel upon arrival (wrong item, bad quality, wrong size or colour) then sending it back will not be a realistic proposition. With The Medieval Shoppe you are dealing with a truly Australian owned and Australian located business.
