'A very short video that showcases my 14th-century costume! This is a small window into the world of medieval clothing.  The first layer was a linen shift - this was also worn as pajamas and worn every day.   The next layer would be stockings and leather shoes.  From there, kirtles made of linen or wool (or silk if you had the wealth.) would be added, two could be worn for extra warmth if needed.   In the early 14th century (and for working-class people) kirtles were looser and fitted at the waist with a leather belt that also served to hold a small purse (this later evolved into the 18th-century pocket.  Using linen tape, hair was fashionably braided into loops at either side of the head. Married women wore veils or wimples and wore caps underneath to help pin their head coverings in place.   I hope you enjoyed my little cinematic window into medieval life!  Disclaimer: As someone new to the study of historical clothing and costuming I do not claim any complete historical accuracy. I try my best to provide correct information but I urge you to seek out additional sources if you\'d like to learn about the facts of life in the 14th century. Thank you!
