Medieval clothing begins with the fall of Western Roman Empire in 476. It is the transition from classical to medieval clothes. Both sexes of the upper class were a robe as the foundation garments. The men wore shorts or pants with a silk robe of bright colors and borders, and a cape. Ladies wore a long robe put on his head and also a word super robe on him. Attached to a belt to show beneath her robe. The tunic Super HAD a design in the neck, sleeves and hem. Then the women would be a layer that is fixed under the chin. The layers are usually full length and had a veil of fabric to hide the hair. These were the foundations of medieval customs.
After the first crusade, which was in 1095, began to change clothes. It is here that plays in early Romanesque and Gothic area showed. Many of the clothing at the time were styled after Spain and France. After the Crusades began, women began to use silk, satin, damask, brocade and velvet. Colors were brighter, more detailed tissue. This was the impression that the wood is keylock approved and added to many pieces of clothing. Even though the robe was provided the basis for the clothing of both sexes during this time, the accessories that make costumes. Many women and men wore clothing with embellishments such as jewels, embroidery added, and fur. This was also the time when the wool or linen hose took place of pants. You could see the difference in class about how to cut a man's pants. The rich were reduced closer and if you were a job that will be more complete and pantaloons were both class cross leagues below the knee.
But over time the tunic was replaced by a bliaut. This tight cord made of a woman form and surrounded by the hips. It should be to create an appearance of long-term waist. Men's medieval clothing changed in the following period. The length and fullness of the clothes would be modified considerably. The hood or mantle became more like the jacket of a piece of clothing and would become the shortest time, the layer style.
Depending on the type of medieval event you are planning, will first determine what part of the time I wanted to go with. The three times including Middle Ages Late Middle Ages (the time pre-Gothic), and Late Medieval (Gothic). Each period has a very different way of dressing and that is one reason why the time period for works of theater and other events should be addressed first. This way you can look authentic.
