Medieval White Dress “Chess Queen”
Wedding cotton dress for medieval bride
Think of occasional beams of sun breaking through the colonnade, giving the Queen's crown a light glow, and of age-old dust on marble floors swept by her rustled skirt. She's observing the world around without fear, reasoned she's found what she needed ages ago. Of all the royal dresses we have, this one best reflects who and what the Queen is.
Made her feel like she could rule again, the "Chess Queen" dress in cool natural cotton features dainteth silhouette from far-off European Middle Ages. The sleeves come into blossom at the upper arms and narrow all the way down to the wrists, ending with elongated cuffs. Side lacings gently hug the middle. The dress has a full floor-length sweep and goes from chic to gala with no visible effort. The skirt flares subtly from the upper thigh with the help of two additional gores. Embellishing is kept to a minimal, but you can count on the fact that the dress still appears timelessly elegant. The Celtic interwoven ornament of the trims is all about making the details really stand out. Along with every other minimalist style fan, we fell hard for this less-is-way-more look.
Tender and light, verging sometimes on the elvish, it will have a similar effect on you. If you ever considered yourself as a bride and decided on a classic white colour robe, the "Chess Queen" gown is the best choice! Comfortable, washable, and versatile natural cotton breathes well, so not too heavy for warm weather.
Wear it plain, with just the belt and crown, or add colored bodice vest to emphasize the occasion and complete the look with shoes matched the theme.

My wedding dress (almost 4 year ago). They were perfect. And a big skirt great for spinning like little girl :D It really shows with right dance. Tip: Dress are a little bit translucent, so it is good to have something under them.

I ordered this item in dark blue. The fabric is a nice weight - not too heavy, not too light. Pretty "rose" buttons on the sleeves.
ArmStreet:Thank you, Laurie!

Is it possible to get a lower neckline on this dress if it was custom ordered? Not necessarily a v-neck, but just a lower neckline?
Yes, we can make it one inch lower if you select custom size option and leave this request in the comment section to your order.
Hi! Is it at all possible for the trim's background colour to be customized? We are looking for a wedding dress, and we like the silver celtic trim, but we would like to change the trim's black background into a dark blue colour, for instance the "dark blue cotton" colour available for the cotton?
Hello Vera, it is not possible, unfortunately, but we can change the trim to another one if you wish. Please check our trims here: https://armstreet.com/trims.html
Can a chemise be worn with the "Chess Queen" dress to make it warm enough for a winter wedding? If so, which chemise would you recommend?
Dear Noelle, even with chemise the dress is not warm enough for winter sorry. Please consider some velvet or woolen dress.
Hi. Is the Medieval White Dress "Chesse Queen" dress currently available in the white with gold celtic trim?
Dear Megan, currently it is out of stock, but you may still order it. We need couple of weeks to make this dress.
I would like this in brown if possible?
Hi Melissa, yes it is possible. Please simply select custom size for the dress and leave a comment to your order that you would like it to be in brown cotton.
Do I need to wear an underdress with the chess queen dress?
Hi Leilani, chemise is not required for this dress.
Is it possible to get this dress in forest green with gold trim?
Hi Moriah, yes we can make it in green cotton with gold trim. Please simply select custom size option and select desired color for the dress and trim.
Hello I'm wondering if there's anyway to get this dress, but with the gold celtic trim that "the accolade" dress has? As well as maybe gold thread for the ties on the side?
Hi Kristen! The wide Accolade trim does not have a matching narrow trim that we could sew on the sleeves of the Chess Queen dress, unfortunately. We can surely use gold side lacing. You are welcome to check all our trims and select some other trim that comes both in wide and narrow version.
In reference to the dress being made in linen, what are the colour options and is there a visible palette available to view before ordering? Also, does the trim remain the same as shown in the photo if colour chosen is different than black or white?
Hi, Faith! Yes, the color of the trims remains. You may check all linen colors here
I am interested in getting this dress as bridesmaids dresses for my upcoming wedding. I am wearing the Archeress in burgundy so that takes that color away as an option for my ladies. I was wondering if there were any other color and trim options for this one to give a little more variety to my bridemaids' lineup.
The dress is originally made of cotton which we have in White, Black, Dark blue, Blue, Green and Burgundy. Any of these colours can be used.
The dress can be also made of linen which we have in many colours, but that will cost $35.00 extra (each dress).
Hi! I'm trying to decide what dress to buy. They are all so wonderful! I like the chess queen dress very much, but I wonder if it is possible to use the forest trim instead of the celtic trim? Is it also possible to make a matching belt like on the lady hunter dress? Best regards May
It is possible to use Forest Princess trim, technically, but it is only 3 cm wide while the Celtic trim is 5 cm wide. So, with the Forest Princess trim final look will differ from the original one. If it is ok for you, please just mention the desired trim in the comments to your order.
The belt can be made if you choose the Celtic trim, Forest Princess trim is too narrow for a belt, sorry. Belt would cost $35.00 extra, if that works for you, please just mention it in the comments to your order as well.
I'm interested in getting a dress and hope to get it custom made and sent to WA, Australia before 31st March. What is standard times for processing before shipping? Typically how long do items take to get to Australia? Thank you.
Manufacturing of the dress normally takes 25-29 days. Shipping to Australia usually doesn`t take more than 3 weeks, you can also choose express shipping which takes about 5 days to deliver. If you order now, you`ll surely get the dress by the end of March. :)
Is it possible to make this dress with the Archeress trim? With the Autumn Princess trim? Thanks!
The dress cannot be made with the Archeress or the Autumn Princess trim, sorry. Optionally it can be made with Rowena trim or with Lady Hunter trim.
HEllo! Can this dress be made in midnight flax linen with the trim from the lost princess dress? thanks!
Yes, this dress made of midnight blue flax linen costs $35 extra, with Lost Princess trim - $35 extra too.
I'm curious to know, does the cotton wrinkle as much as the linin? Also, is there "stretch" in the cotton?
Cotton fabric doesn't wrinkle easily, it's thicker and heavier than linen, and keeps the shape better. Linen is much more softer, lighter, and flowing than cotton, but it crumples easily.
Natural cotton does not stretch, as it has no synthetic fibers.
Hello, is it possible to get the Chess Queen dress in a dark blue wool fabric (or other color in wool) with a full circle skirt, and with the trim from Medieval Fantasy Wedding Dress “White Swan”? Thank you :)
This dress cannot be made of wool, sorry.
Full-circle skirt costs $45 extra. Simply add a comment to your order, we'll send an invoice for the extra charge to your PayPal email.
“White Swan” trim - $30 extra.
I want to order Chess Queen in a dark green with the green Celtic trim. I was wondering if I could purchase extra trim to be used for a belt as the The Lady Hunter dress.
Yes, such trimmed belt costs $35 extra.
Hi! I am interested in the Chess Queen dress, however, I would like a long girdle belt made of matching trim. I'd like the length to be similar to the one you have shown on your Anne of Kiev dress so I can tie it in front. How much extra would this be? How would I go about ordering that with the dress? Thanks!
Such trimmed belt will cost $35 extra. Simply add a comment to your order, and we'll send an invoice for the belt to your PayPal email.
Hello there! Would it be possible to order a belt made out of the trim to go with this dress (similar style to the one shown with the "Lady Hunter")? Thank you!

Yes, but only if you order it in custom size. Simply add a commment to your order.
I would like to order this dress in black but with the belt! Why don't you sell the belt like this?

Recently we made a women's metal belt. In stainless steel version it will look very similar!
I would love to see a picture of this dress in the green color with the gold trim. I am seriously considering this dress for my wedding and I would love it to be in those colors but I really want to see a picture of it that way first. Is this possible?
