Store — Clothes — Medieval Dress Flax Linen "Fair Lady"

This dress is gorgeous! This is my first experience ordering medieval clothing, especially customized ones, and I was not disappointed at all when I ordered from Armstreet! I have this dress in red and it is true to detail. In this picture, the sleeves look kind of long and dragging but I believe this is only because the model has chosen to wear the gown very loosely and it may not even be custom made for her height, so it may appear like the dress comes with gigantic sleeves. However mine came out very nice. They are longer and larger than regular sleeves and overall the flax material is nicely stiff and shapely. Along with the trim and matching belt, the gown is a very classy. I highly recommend it.

Is it possible to get this dress with a different trim?

The long sleeves are not a problem, you just have to get used to them. I have eaten several rather messy medieval meals while wearing this kind of sleeve. I usually just fold the top part of the sleeve up once, that gets the sleeve somewhat out of the way. When doing other stuff like changing my baby or visiting the ladies room, I tie up the sleeves in a knot beforehand. (When my daughters eat, I'm there quickly to tie a knot, and they never complain) This was apparently done by the ladies back in the times as well, there are paintings of women with these knots on their sleeves. Sometimes the sleeves would reach the floor, but then they usually weren't as wide.

Beautiful dress...but how do you handle the long sleeves?
