“Autumn Princess” Linen Dress
XIII century style princess dress
Whatever autumn brings – days, full of events, long walks through the woods adorned with gold, joyous festivities – a neat and comfortable outfit certainly comes of use to every princess. A fine linen dress is precisely the case – whether you intend to meet a prince or negotiate with a dragon – it is perfectly fitting to the most different occasions.
The “Autumn princess” dress is a fantasy clothing inspired by medieval princess dresses from miniatures of XIII century. Back in those days draperies had just given way to tailored gowns, which were made to fit more tightly to the skin (often with use of lacing) and gave more prominence to the curves of the figure. Their simple but gracious beauty induced the creation of this fantasy princess dress.
Silhouette, dress elements & fabric details
Wide scoop neckline of the dress looks exquisite, yet not revealing, while the back lacing ensures that the garment fits snugly around the waist and makes size adjustments simple. Sleeves, which are also laced up and close-fitting, end with flared cuffs that reach the knuckles. The wide skirt, made by adding triangular godets to increase the hem, grants you a desired freedom of movement (because you never know with dragons).
Simple elegance of the linen cloth is balanced with its deep color and enriched with an ornamental trim on the neck, hemline and cuffs. This princess dress is suited for everyday wear for a noble lady, but as it is not overburdened with decorous elements, it emphasizes, instead of suppressing, your natural beauty. Moreover, it provides you a wide space for experimenting with accessories and jewelry and will make an excellent part of your outfit for any reenactment medieval theme event.
Made from natural linen flax, the dress is pleasant to touch, lightweight and easy-care, which, combined with the practical cutting style, makes it the perfect choice for diverse outdoor activities, horse riding and traveling, giving it the top place among the other larp costumes for sale.
Important notes:
The dress is available in several color schemes. If you choose the black color for the fabric, please do not forget to specify the color of the trim in comments to the order.
The dress is made to be floor-length, otherwise you can specify your preferred length in comments to the order (when ordering custom size dress only, fixed size dresses are floor-length by default).
Please note, the dress of size 6, 8, 10, 12 has the side bust darts for better shaping. Also, if the difference between your bust and waist circumferences exceeds 9 13/16 in (25 cm), the dress won't fit tightly.

Hello - similar to the question below, are you able to make this dress in navy (rather than the brighter blue shown?) And is it also possible to customize the trim, and if so how does that affect the cost/shipping time. Thank you - your work is wonderful!
Hi Tracy! Yes, we can make it in navy blue and other wide trim. No extra charge. Please simply leave this request to your order.
Hi. do you guys have free returns? Or returns at all?
Hello! Please check our return policy here
I've measured myself and would fit a size 12 just fine but I'm 6 feet tall. I'm assuming this would look comically short on me if I didn't do a custom size? Just wondering if I can avoid the custom pricing since it's just that I'm a tall Amazon.
Hi! Our pre-made dresses fit the height of 5'6". Unfortunately, the pre-made dress will be too short for you and we recommed to choose custom size dress in this case.
Hi! I want to have this as my wedding dress, would there be a way to get this dress in white?
Yes, we can make this dress in white color. Please specify the trim color that is preffered for the dress in the comment to your order. You are welcome to check available trims here
Hi, I would like to order this gown in black linen. is it possible to have silver or white lacings? And is it possible to have the silver celtic trim (like in the gown chess queen)? Thank you

Hi there, is the price listed in USD or AUS? Thanks :)

I recently purchased a size 6 of the Autumn princess, and I was wondering with the sleeve length is. And dresses I tend to find I have longer arms than they do.
The sleeve length in size 6 is 66 cm or 26 in (from the shoulder seam to the sleeve hem).
Hi, I would like to wear this in the summer in Southern California. Would this be too warm seeing it is an "autumn" dress?
Well, it should be okay, flax linen we use has density 1.30 - 1.35 g/cm³ approximately, it feels cool to wear in the heat. Linen is a perfect choice for summer, it's a true shield from the heat! :)
Hi Anna, would it be possible to have this done in midnight blue like the colour of the "forget me not" dress? Kind regards Valentina
Yes, this is possible in custom size, just mention the colour in the comments to your order.
Hi there, is the custom made green linen dress the exact color as in the pictures? Or does it differ in every dress?
The colour may slightly vary depending on the supply, but in general it is like on the photos. Please note that the colour you see on the screen can be influenced by your computer colour rendering as well.
If I wanted to buy a bodice or corset to go with this dress, which one would you recommend?
We'd choose Natural Suede Bodice “The Alchemist's Daughter”. From all our corsets and bodices this one will be the best for this dress. :)
Also for the dresses in stock, how long is the dress? I'm 6'1.
Fixed size dresses are 58" (148 cm) long in sizes 0–8 and 59" (150 cm) in sizes 10–12.
We would recommend you ordering custom sized dress, fixed size will be probably a bit short.
I keep looking at your dresses, not yet able to make a final choice between them, beeing all gorgeous. I've taken a particular shine to the Autumn Princess. Would this be availabel in Burgundy Flax? If so, could it be made with the brown archeress trim? If not, what matching trim would you reccomend with burgundy? Another favourite is the Red/Green sleeves model. Would a classic chemise fit with this, or is the neckline too wide? Thank you in advance :)
The dress can be made in Burgundy colour, but the Archeress trim is too narrow, sorry. The dress can be made with Autumn Princess red trim, it should look good.
Classic medieval chemise will go well with Red/Green sleeves model.
What color trim can you use for the black flax dress?
The black dress can be actually made with any of the Autumn trim (Green, Blue, Red) as they all have black background.
Hello, I am very interested in the Linen Dress Autumn Princess would there be a way to order that in ivory or white?
The dress can be made in Natural linen, we don`t recommend making it in White linen as it is too thin and won`t look good, but we can make the dress of White cotton. Price will be the same as listed. Please note, it will have two additional seams along the dress - in front and on the back.
Hello, I noticed that an earlier mention said that this could be available in midnight blue if custom ordered, but I did not see that as a selection option. Is the midnight blue still available?
Yes, the dress in custom size can be made in Midnight Blue, just mention it in the comments to your order.

Hello, I hope to buy this beautiful dress soon, but before I do I have to ask. Do I need to buy a chemise to wear underneath this dress or is the fabric for the "Autumn Princess" dress thick enough to wear on its own? And if I do need to buy a chemise with this dress, which one would you recommend? Thank you :)
Generally, the dress can be worn with no chemise, the linen fabric is thick enough, the model on the picture doesn't wear a chemise underneath.
We would recommend wearing the dress over the Classic Medieval chemise, it's simple but very comfortable, made of thin natural linen flax.

Hi there, this dress is absolutely beautiful, and perfect for the character I am creating. Only thing is, she's quite capable of defending herself and is an accomplished swordswoman. Would this dress be able to be used in a sword fighting scene without ripping? Also, is the circlet the model wearing still available, or was it created out of a gold cord? Thanks in advance!

Bought this dress a while a go, custom size. I LOVE it, and it fit perfectly! If I could change anything, I would have had the lacing in the back go a couple of inch further down, but it is also great as it is. THank you very much!

Please remove all laces before washing. Use 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit) water for wash in gentle/delicate mode. To prevent tarnish an alkaline solution or color safe laundry detergent should be be used. Extraction (spinning) in gentle/delicate mode to simplify the ironing. Please don't use hot drying and do not pre-soak linen clothes.

Ive just received my Autumn Princess dress. It such a beautiful dress. I love it so much and can't wait to wear it at alle the medieval festivals this year. Thank you so much!
Amazing, thank you for your feedback, Louise!
If I plan to order this dress in green flax (if green is going to be available again) should I order it now and add a note that says I'd like it made in green as soon as it's available? Or is it best just to wait until green /is/ available, then order, so things don't get confusing? Of course I'd love to take advantage of the free shipping offer... :) But I realize that may not be possible if I'm waiting for the green flax. Thank you!
Please just add a comment to your order. We pay great attention to all of the notes, manufacturing will be started as soon as we receive a new supply of green flax.
Thank you to armstreet another Amazing beautifuly made dress I love thanks
Great, thanks for the review!
I am torn between the Autumn Princess in a Dark Blue Flax or the Chess Queen in a Dark Blue Flax. What is the main difference between the two in regards to the skirt and the fit? Based upon the pictures, I love the fit of the Autumn Princess and the sleeves of the Chess Queen. I can't wait to order as your clothes are beautiful.
The main differences are the lacing, sleeves and trim. Skirts are the same (4.5-5 meters along bottom, depending on size). Also "Autumn Princess" dress has a little deeper neckline.
Hi There! I was wondering if you will do again at some point the Autumn Princess in green in size 4, because I love it so much! I can't find another dress like this one! It is so simple but gorgeous at the same time! Thank you! Eva
Of course, this dress in different fixed sizes should be available again in about a week.
Can this be made in the darker blue?
Can be made of midnight-blue linen, but please note that matching "Autumn Princess" trim is available in green, blue and red color only.
Hi! I just have a few questions. Do you have to have a chemise with this one? Can I get silver trim? Thank you
Classic medieval chemise fits the best.
Can be made with silver Celtic trim for $15 extra, just add a comment to your order, and we'll send an invoice for the extra charge to your PayPal email.
What is the main difference between the autumn princess dress and the sunshine Janet dress? Thank you
"Autumn Princess" dress has two additional gussets, the skirt is 4.5 - 5 meters wide at the bottom (15' - 16'5", depending on your measurements), basically comes with wide trim, has trim on the neckline, sleeves and hem.
"Sunshine Janet" dress has no additional gores, the skirt is 3 meters wide (9'10"), basically comes with narrow trim, no trim on the neckline.
Hi, I noticed in the comments earlier that it is possible to get this dress in cotton. What are the main differences between the dress as-is (linen) and cotton? Is the cotton thin?
Linen is softer, lighter, and more flowing than cotton, but it crumples easily. Cotton is thicker and heavier, but keeps the shape better.
So I bought some fabric that I thought was perfect for the dress I wanted but I was wondering if I sent you the fabric could you make it out of my fabric and of so how much fabric do you need I think I have 2 yards of 6 foot wide fabric and I'm only 4'11 and a size 4
We cannot make clothes out of the customer's fabric, sorry.
Hello You have beautiful dresses :) Regarding the length... In one picture the model is stood straight and the dress seems too long. I would like it a little shorter and just shy of touching the ground for cleanliness what would I put then as my 'full height'? I am 5 feet 8 inches in height. Thankyou.
No problems, just add this comment to your order. We can make the skirt a bit shorter.
Hi. How wide is the skirt? And is it possible to get it full?
The skirt is 15-16 ft (4.5 - 5 meters) wide at the bottom, depending on your size. We can add two more gores for $75 extra.
I am placing an order today with your store for the "Autumn Princess" Dress, and as I specified in my order, I would like the black linen dress, BUT WITH THE BLUE TRIM. The previous dress I ordered from you was beautifully made and I can't wait to own another!
Simplemente, me encanta!! Es fantástico, como todos los demás productos que compro aquí. Todos son perfectos. Gran trabajo!! Gracias
Excelente! Muchas gracias por sus comentarios!

Can this dress be machinewashed at 40 degrees celcius or will it shrink unless handwashed?
It's machine washable. Use 40°C (104°F) water for wash in gentl mode. To prevent tarnish an alkaline solution or color safe laundry detergent should be be used. Extraction (spinning) in delicate mode to simplify the ironing. Please don't use hot drying and do not pre-soak linen clothes.
Hi everyone, I was wondering about the measurements. I live in France and we got the metric system here. Can I send you my measures in centimetres or do I have to covert it in inches? I know there is a french armstreet page but I rather trust the english one. I really like the Autumn Princess, and I'd love to purchase it.
Yes, simply choose the preferred measurement units (inches or centimeters) just above the fields for the measurements.
I purchased this last fall for this summer's renaissance festival season. It turned out perfectly! It fits me just right, the quality is fantastic, and I am excited to wear it! Thanks so much for doing custom plus size work! It was worth the wait to have a custom made dress!!
Thank you for the great feedback, Amber! Always welcome to ArmStreet!
Just wanted to say a huge thank you to the Armstreet team for the gorgeous Autumn Princess dresses you made for my bridesmaids - we had a fabulous day - the dresses fitted perfectly and were just right for the Medieval theme and colour scheme. Wouldn't hesitate to buy from you again! Thanks!
