Priestess Dress

Your House waits for sleep to take your rivals before making an advance on their fortress. While the element of surprise will give you an advantage, forcing the rival house to fall will still require a bloody battle this night.

You are one of your family’s oldest females and a devout follower of your chaotic god. Decorated in your Priestess Dress, you lead your small army of slaves and allies with your staff in hand. Tonight will be your victory.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Priestess Dress is a formal and elegant dress with long sleeves designed to function on its own or combined with other Epic Armoury clothes. Made from comfortable, soft cotton, this dress is tailored to be exceptionally versatile. The neckline is wide, showing off the collarbone and shoulders, complementing and balancing the rest of the dress’ design. Wear the long sleeves completely open in the summer, partially laced to show off your chemise, or tie them tight and straight from shoulder to wrist.

The Priestess Dress reaches from the shoulders to the ankles, and can be adjusted using a drawstring along the sides to match your desired look and comfort. The style is inspired by medieval design, but the Priestess' Dress can easily be used by almost any character or culture with a little creativity.

You’ve been told that it’s not what’s on the outside that counts, but the inside. A beautiful lady in all her elegant skirts and jewelry is only as lovely as her personality. Despite her beauty, she could truly be a rotten core, putrid and a blemish on society.

As you consider yourself and your newest gown in the mirror, the only ‘inside’ you’re concerned with is the inside of the dress’ scratchy wool. Thankfully your Astrid Shift is doing a rather impeccable job keeping you comfortable and itch-free. Perhaps it really is all about what is on the inside that counts.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury's Shift Astrid is a simple and loose fitting slip-on underdress. Made from light and breathable cotton, this dress is designed to be a base layer for your costume. This shift will help keep your more elaborate, detailed outer layers clean while also moderating body temperature. The dress reaches from the shoulders to the ankles and has a wide gusseted skirt with plenty of room, making movement easy.

The roomy, drop shoulder sleeves are long and tied at the wrist with a cotton drawstring in order to keep them out of the way. The Shift Astrid is a simple, but classic design that will suit many LARPers, cosplayers, and reenactors comfortably--whether it be for fantasy or period perfection!

HISTORY

• Historically worn as a women’s undergarment
• Gussets--the triangular piece of fabric added to the skirt--were traditionally used at the hems of chemises to shape the garment to the body

Small Potion Holder includes 2 vials

Large Potion Holder includes 3 vials

Need to heal your party's tank quickly?

Make sure you always have some health potions on you with these handy accessories!

The acrid smell of solvent hangs in the air of your lab, mixing with the sweet and tangy perfume of oils and spices. You have been testing a new solution--when did you start? Was it this morning or yesterday? The work has taken such concentration you are uncertain just how long you have been locked away.

The moment of truth is upon you as you feed the pungent potion to your rat. It seems to like the taste, eager for another sample. That is a good sign! To your relief you see the potion’s desired effects. The rat begins to shrink.

A job well done, you fill three small vials and place them into your Potion Holder. These might very well come in handy.

DETAILS

Lock the pouch closed with a horn bar through a looped leather cord. The pouch can be attached to a belt via two belt straps fitted with brass studs, and will fit most Epic Armoury belts. For the adventurer who likes his or her healing potions intact, this Potion Holder is an essential part of any kit.

INSPIRATION

• Alchemy could theoretically be used to create an Elixir of Life, restoring a person’s youth
• Alchemists believed in four elements: Fire, Earth, Air, and Water

The sleeveless Leandra dress is mostly worn with an underdress and closed with a lacing in the front.

A dainty crown upon thy head

Your prey is almost within range, tentative as she catches a whiff of something in the air. You have covered yourself in the dirt of the forest and smell more like pine than person, but the deer still seems uncertain.

She steps forward and you pull back the string on your loaded bow, peering down at her from beneath the leather of your Elven Head Band. This deer will feed you for the rest of the week, so you are careful as you take aim. You mustn’t miss your target if you are to eat.

With a sharp ‘thwap!’ your arrow hits its mark, clean and perfect. A painless end to a noble creature...and your dinner.

DETAILS

This bestselling Epic Armoury Elven Head Band is a slim decorative piece of head armour with a distinct elven feel. The headband is made from vegetable-tanned leather and fitted with an adjustable leather brace at the back. At the forehead, the headband is decorated with a flat leaf-shaped leather patch that rises over the forehead and stretches down to cover the bridge of the nose. At the temples it is fitted with cheek-pads closely covering the cheek and chin-bones, hovering a few centimetres before the mouth.

The Elven Head Band is clearly elven in style, but is compatible with other Epic Armoury leather products, allowing almost any character to round off their look with this stylish accessory.

One size fits all.
