Medieval Clothing

Middle Age Costumes

Medieval costumes mirrored the advancing culture, and increasing trade was making more materials available. Nobility clad themselves in elaborate and brightly colored robes and gowns. Silk was reserved for the upper class, and in some areas, peasants were forbidden to possess it. Gold and silver thread would be used to embroider fanciful designs depicting from legend, nature or religion. Those living in the Middle Ages would adorn themselves in jewelry, furs, and elaborate belts. Wigs made from peasant's hair became very popular.

Groom's Clothing

Traditionally, the groom would wear his finest court apparel. Often these garments would be studded with gems and stitched with fine embroidery.
