Buy Medieval Women's Dresses - From Princess Dresses to Leather Dresses
The term medieval dress for women immediately evokes the image of the fair maiden, the clever barmaid, and other medieval romantic images. It's true. Dresses were the attire for women in medieval Europe, almost exclusively. Styles of medieval dresses abound throughout the 1000 years of the Middle Ages. A dress with two layers is a central part of medieval women's attire, and its style reveals much about its wearer. Is it a blue velvet dress or a noble cotehardie in red? Then the lady will be of high standing, perhaps the wife of a merchant? Is it adorned all over with jewels? Then one probably has a noble court lady or a princess before them. Is it worn and a coarse brown linen dress or rough cotton dress? Then one can assume at most that it belongs to a peasant or even a beggar.
How was a medieval dress worn?
A medieval dress was often worn in two layers. There was an underdress, the so-called Chemise or curtle. Over this, one wore the outer dress or overdress, which was usually cinched at the waist by a narrow belt. The dresses of the Middle Ages were mostly made of linen or wool, like pretty much all other clothing in medieval Europe. Dresses made of velvet and silk were very expensive and almost exclusively reserved for the nobility or wealthy merchants. Cotton as a material for dresses only came to Europe much later.
At our store, you'll find a selection of exquisite fantasy women's dresses for medieval festivals or LARP events. Naturally, authentic medieval dresses made of cotton are also available, but our range extends from Baroque or Renaissance dresses to fantasy cuts. You can even buy the occasional Western dress for women.
LARP Dresses & Gothic Dresses in Leather at Andracor
From our leather workshop, there are also LARP dresses for women made of the finest suede leather, handmade in Berlin! These can be perfectly tailored to the wearer through lacing. They are usually intended as outerwear but can also be worn directly on the skin for barbarians and scoundrels who prefer to forgo an underdress in favor of more exposed skin. The cuts of Andracor dresses are universally fantastic and suit many characters, such as elf dresses, medieval dresses, dresses for dwarves, or pirate dresses. Even in Gothic fashion, a leather Gothic dress is a real eye-catcher; many Gothic dresses are inspired by medieval dresses, and some black long dresses for Gothic occasions can be found here as well.

LARP Dresses in Cotton - Apron Dress for Viking Women and Hooded Dresses for Sorceresses
Women's fashion in LARP is versatile and not limited to medieval dresses. To create an authentic Viking garment for women, you primarily need a so-called apron dress, this early form of medieval pinafore dress was typical for the women of the Vikings. Even in fantasy LARP, Vikings and Northmen are played, so an apron dress with a matching light underdress and belt, as well as decorative brooches, is a good basis for portraying a Norsewoman. We have such a Viking dress from our own brand Andracor garments with flexible straps for sewing or attaching it with brooches. A fair price is important to us to offer beautiful basic dresses for a first LARP, even to LARP beginners. Another group of LARP characters, often found in dresses, are LARP characters such as magicians and witches, where fantasy dresses with hoods and flowing sleeves are perfect. The style of your dress is entirely up to you in LARP; even a pirate with a ruffled dress is quite fitting. Apron dresses and cotton hooded dresses for LARP costumes can be conveniently and affordably purchased on our website. Even if the LARP is happening soon, you'll receive your medieval dress on time through our super-fast express shipping!
