This Chemise is the most basic layer of a medieval woman's outfit. Part of our Yoremade collection by Epic Armoury, it works for kits from the early middle ages right through to the late period. It’s meant to be worn directly against your skin, acting as a shield to keep sweat and oils off your more expensive wool or velvet outer clothes.
It’s made from 100% light casement cotton. This fabric is breathable and helps you stay cool when you're wearing multiple layers or staying active in the sun. The cut is loose and straightforward, so it moves with you and won't feel tight or restrictive when worn under a dress, tunic, or surcoat.
The color is a neutral Maiden Natural, which gives it a grounded, undyed appearance that fits any character role. Since it’s cotton, you can easily throw it in the wash after a muddy event to get it clean again.
