Schönes Bliaut! http://www.mark-meissen-1200.de Very nicely made bliaut. Love the color and embroidery.

This gown, a tran­si­tional style between a cote­hardie and a houp­pelande, is based on 15th cen­tury Ital­ian sources. The dress is made of red wool and fully lined. The dress laces on the sides with hand sewn eye­lets and hand made fin­ger loop braid. The neck­line is accented with gold silk and span­gles, a pre­cur­sor to mod­ern sequins. The gown is worn here both with braided hair and with a dec­o­rated hat.
