I'm writing this novel and I really need help with the clothing aspects.
It is set in the medieval time period, and though it is a fantasy world I still want the clothing to be pretty historically accurate for the time.
So I have a few questions. First of all, when did women start using skirts and bodices?
I know that in early medieval times women would usually wear a kirtle and an over gown with a belt, but my story is taking place in the more modern period of the middle ages.
Also who/when did women wear head coverings? Was that only necessary for married women? What century did dressing become more casual?
I know that how women dressed also depended on their class, so for reference my character dresses a little better than peasants would.
As you can see I know nearly nothing of traditional dressing for the middle ages, so I would really appreciate any help and input. Thanks! XD
