Here are some of my made costumes for the Canterbury Tales touring company. The first is a very plain 14th century olive green dress made from a thick linen. This dress is heavy, giving the bottom half lots of movement. I also wanted to give small details such as around the button holes making it look as if someone has made this whole dress my hand and making it look more historical. I would, in the future, add more detailing around the collar and perhaps add a apron to the front to tie in with the white.

The simple plain men's 14th century shirt is made from a thin linen fabric with a natural light brown colour. This shirt was very simple to make but was hard to make comfortable to wear for a long period of time.
