Raven Dress - White

Please note that the White Raven Dress is a Limited Edition Colour of the Raven Dress 

Two frogs, a halved lizard’s brain, and a dash of graveyard dirt are added to your brew as you recite the memorized incantation. This particular spell is one of your specialties; people from miles around come to buy even the smallest of doses.

You allow the potion time to simmer before it is ready, straining the maroon concoction into a flask. Your Raven Dress flares out behind you as you carry it out to the cloaked man still waiting in your shop. The Forget Spell is ready for sale...for a pretty price.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Raven Dress is a sleeveless overdress with a polyester fur collar and large window armholes. Designed to be pulled on top of an inner slip such as a Peasant Dress or Basic Dress, the Raven Dress adds layering to the costume while still allowing you to show-off your entire costume. Made from comfortable medium cotton, and embellished with a tulle-like bottom hem, this dress is designed to be both comfortable and impressive.

The Raven dress is designed with plenty of room and loose fabric. Though unique in pattern, the cut will fit into most medieval settings.

HISTORY

• Sideless surcoats were popular women’s fashion during the 14th- and 15th centuries
• Eventually became considered a ceremonial garment
• The Church found the fashion scandalous, calling the sleeve holes “Gates to Hell”

You tighten your belt another notch over your hose and Braies, frowning at the watered-down soup over the fire. It’s been a long winter, and you and your family aren’t sure you’re going to have enough food. As you consider ways you might be able to afford some meat--maybe you can do some work for a merchant in town?--there’s an anxious knock on the door.

“Raiders!” shouts the messenger on your doorstep. “Raiders are coming! Every able person is being called to fight!”

Suddenly an empty belly is the least of your worries.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Braies are roomy, lightweight undergarments worn like shorts or with hose. These cotton braies are secured with hidden drawstrings at the waist, adjustable to match your size. The knee-length legs tie around the upper shin with a second set of drawstrings. Offering a surprising amount of support and coverage, these braies really demonstrate how awful crotch support used to be. Period-correct lice can be added for additional authenticity.

Braies have been worn by all strata of society and make a great basis for almost any character costume.

HISTORY

• Historically used as a men’s undergarment beneath chausses or hose tied onto the braies’ drawstring
• An ancient garment of German-Celtic origin that became popular in the Roman Empire and in the successor kingdoms

One belt not holding up your chainmail pants?

TRY TWO!

The street is a hard place to conduct business, but it’s a way of life you’ve become very good at keeping. Two coppers jingle in the pouch hanging from your Twin Belt, but by the end of the day you’re determined to increase the lot to a gold or two. A good card game and a poor ol’ sap is all it takes.

On your way to your regular spot you pass a lovely lady in a fine dress. You may be a ruffian, but with your candid smile you give the lady a tip of your fanciful top hat. She looks flattered, which is a good distraction...because now you’ve got a silver to add to the copper in your pouch.

DETAILS

This bestselling Epic Armoury Twin Belt is a stylish and durable leather belt fashioned from two slimmer belts merged into one. Made from two buffalo-leather straps and stitched together by leather braces in an ornate pattern, this belt has a truly medieval look.

The two braces are fitted with brass D-rings for attaching or suspending bags and other equipment. Usable by a large variety of shapes and sizes due to its long 40 cm belt-tongues and nine punched holes, this belt is a perfect solution for anyone’s kit. With its simple style and rings, the belt is both functional and stylish, and can be used by lords or peasants--no matter race or culture.

Available in Brown, Black, Red, Blue, and Green. One size fits all.

HISTORY

• Historically made from cut lengths of leather sewn together
• Belts have been documented for male clothing since the Bronze Age between 3200–600 B.C.
• More commonly a male fashion item, with the exception of the Middle Ages
