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.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Dress Runa is a sleeveless overdress for adults and children, featuring a scoop neckline and large window armholes. Designed to be pulled on top of an inner slip such as a Children’s Shift or Basic Dress, the Runa Dress adds layering while still allowing you to show-off your entire costume. Made from comfortable black and red cotton, this dress is designed to be both comfortable and impressive.

The Runa dress is designed with plenty of room and loose fabric, and will suit you and your child in most medieval settings.

HISTORY

• Medieval children often wore the same fashions as adults until the 16th- and 17th-centuries
• Sideless surcoats were popular women’s fashion during the 14th- and 15th centuries

The bodice has been popular among women of all social classes as everyday clothing for many centuries.

The light underbust bodice from Mytholon's Annabelle bodice is worn over a blouse and helps emphasise more feminine characterstics of the body's shape.
The wide shoulder straps guarantee greater wearing comfort.
The lacing in front allows an individual adjustment to the wearer's body.

Made from heavy-duty cotton canvas, this bodice can be used as an outer garment for a wide variety of costumes, be it the cheeky barmaid or the flirtatious adventurer. Of course, it can also be combined with other blouses from our entire product range, not just the matching "Annabelle" blouse.

Worn on top of an undergarment it warms on cool days and protects from light rain. Wear it open, as an open vest or close it all the way with the lacing - both looks good. The vest is fitted along the waistline. The black contrast on the edges stretch the vest and let the wearer appear slimmer and longer. When combined with a skirt and some more details, this vest will add some eye-catcher to the tavern maids, adventurers or market-womans costume or can be a good basis for down-to-earth dresses. 

Made from light cotton fabric, the "Annabelle" blouse is an airy upper garment for hot summer days. The generously cut sleeves can be gathered by means of drawstings and can be worn as either short or long sleeves. The deep neckline can be closed for the cooler days or in case you need something more modest when in noble surroundings, or the days are getting colder. The blouse was designed to be worn underneath the "Annabelle" bodice, but can also be worn in combination with all other fabric or leather bodices we offer.

It differs from the "Anna" blouse in that the sleeve cut was alters to allow an even better fit.

The "Vysera" outer garment is slotted in the front & back and is closed by rim & buckle on the side. It can be combined with our under dresses, depending on the temperature from light cotton to heavy wool. This dress is an eyecatcher on every event, and also available in a herringbone weaving pattern for a fine detail.

You are the lady everyone adores in court. Always wearing the latest styles, you are looked to as the utmost expert on fashion. It certainly doesn’t help that you are just as charming in personality as you are in appearance! People like you.

Today you stride into court wearing your latest accessory--a beautiful Ladies Vest designed to give you an air of elegance while maintaining comfort. As you expected, all the other ladies must know your tailor’s name. They will likely have their own version by the end of the week.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Ladies Vest is an adorned, sleeveless outer garment with round neck designed to add interest and shape to a lady’s costume. Specifically tailored to the female body, wear this vest with pants or skirt--both look great! Made from a strong and natural wool blend, this 16th century garment curves around the hips before meeting low over the abdomen. A contrasting trim along the edges adds beautiful personality to this vest.

The front of the Ladies Vest is closed with a cotton drawstring, which can be tightened through the brass eyelets secured through a cloth-brace. Further adjust this vest to your individual body-type using the cotton cord lacing on the lower back. The vest is designed to fit on top of other Epic Armoury clothes in order to define your very own style.

HISTORY

• The term vest comes from the French veste (“jacket”), Italian veste (“robe”), and Latin vestis
• More commonly referred to as a “bodice”
• Bodices were often stiffened with reeds or whalebone to create a desired shape, and were worn as an outer garment (unlike corsets)
