Childrens Shift

Even as a person so very young, you are looked upon as an adult by those around you. You managed to survive the years as a baby, after all, and so now you are expected to carry your weight as a member of the family.

Your mother has been teaching you how to do fine embroidery. Stitchwork is important as a young noble lady if you expect to marry, and so you sit with the other ladies working on your handicraft.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury's Dryad Green Children’s Shift is a simple slip-on dress designed especially for kids. Made from light cotton, this green dress is designed to serve as a base layer for a more complex costume, or function as a costume on its own. The dress reaches from the shoulders to the ankles and has a wide skirt with plenty of room, making movement easy for running and play.

The sleeves are long and tied at the wrist with an off-white cotton drawstring in order to keep them out of the way. A similar drawstring along the raglan neckline can be adjusted to your child’s desired fit. The Children’s Shift is a simple, but classic design that will suit most children comfortably regardless of setting.

HISTORY

• Historically worn as a women’s undergarment
• Medieval children often wore the same fashions as adults until the 16th- and 17th-centuries

BUILT UPON A GREAT FOUNDATION

Comfortable Underdress

• Historically worn as a women’s undergarment
