Scalloped Sleeve Houppelande Dress
This long gown with an even longer back train is made out of poly-velvet; its full sleeve tippets and wide, tilted-out collar and bodice are all lined in colored satin. Known by historians as a scalloped Houppelande, it has extremely long arm tippets that are covered up and down the sides with lined scalloped. In keeping with the historical authenticity of the gown, it has a fairly high waistline and was often (but not necessarily) worn with a belt (belt in some of the photos is NOT included--for demonstration purposes only) and underdress or shirt. This is a garment for an upper-class lady only, not a peasant or your typical washer-woman in the castle. So wear it with pride. See below for more information on how this gown is meant to be worn and what made it so typically upper-class Renaissance in style.
**The belt shown in some of the photos is not included with the gown and is for demonstration purposes only.
