Mid 15th-century brown linen kirtle with waistseam. Based off of the various images compiled by Marie Chantal Cadieux, here:http://cadieux.mediumaevum.com/frontlaced-kirtles2.html. Full circle skirt, lightly gathered into the bodice.
The sleeves are black cotton velveteen pin-on sleeves, lined in linen.
Basic London-style hood (http://www.personal.utulsa.edu/~marc-ca … dhd1a.html) done in some fuzzy velvet brocade, lined in silk. Hand-cast buttons (not by me!).
Issues: the bodice is a little long, which contributes to the wrinkles in the back. The skirt is obviously WAY too long, needs to be hemmed. Overall, though, it’s a very comfortable, serviceable and versatile dress.
