Afternoon with the 1300's :)

The Middle Ages is a time for a lot of functional clothing mainly for warmth back then, but you do see a lot of velvets and fur trimed items, and silks imported from the east also woolen and the more expensive linen and jeweled belts and wonderful head gear, we also see form fitting gowns that are low cut, but its a fun time, the sad thing is there are so few garments left from this time :( The few images I have of real garments from the 1300's I will post in this, but like I said its very hard to find surviving clothes from then.
