Note: <\/em>In our women\u2019s clothes we\u2019ve abandoned \u2018standard\u2019, modern sizing because it is far from standard, and tends to cause more confusion than provide accurate information. So, please judge your size by your bust measurements. For this gown we\u2019ve given only the maximum bust size range because this style gives an extremely flexible and flattering fit \u2013 it really does fit and look great on most sizes. This style flares dramatically from the bust line so waist and hips measurements are not an issue with fit. Although it is made of yards of fabric with generous sizing the beautiful drape of the brocade and the matching belt allows for a flattering fit in your size. The belt is meant to be pinned at the center back to fit you exactly and then use the end of the belt to create a loose \u2018knightly knot\u2019 to cover the pinned portion. Our Houppelande runs long so that you can wear it in the authentic fashion of the period \u2013 trailing along the ground or hem it to your desired length.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\u201cMy Lady, please, you must cover your hair!<\/p>

Oh, Isabeau, you fussy old nursemaid, there is a veil attached to my hennin.<\/p>

Yes, and it covers nothing at all! Your hair streams forth like a river. It is shameful.<\/p>

Oh pish! Do you want me to look like a shriveled old frump? This is a tournament in honor of His Grace\u2019s nameday. All the great of Burgundy will be there! It is shameful if I do not catch their eyes! Indeed, the entire Order of the Golden Fleece will be gathered, along with the many young knights and squires who hope to gain its notice through their feats of arms. But most importantly, and secretly, it is the eye of one young squire in particular that is of concern.<\/p>

Then at least pin shut your collar with a brooch. You wish to look a lady, not a strumpet!<\/p>

And this is the fashion of a lady; did not Franz say so when he returned from Milan? Would a strumpet of a belt with a silver buckle fastened beneath her bosom? Then again, fingering that silly Englishman\u2019s carnelian pin, wouldn\u2019t it be wise to let a certain Burgundian squire know he\u2019d best not take things for granted? All right, Isabeau, I see your point. Perhaps a brooch would be more appropriate \u201c<\/p>

As a society in transition, the 15th century was if nothing else, a dramatic era, and this is reflected in its fashions. In the waning decades of the 14th century, a new style evolved as a direct contrast to the sleek, fitted women\u2019s cotehardie. This sumptuous gown was the houppelande, and in any ways represented the perfect marriage of three centuries of women\u2019s fashion. In this one garment, the voluminous, angel-wing sleeves of the 12th century combined with the loose body of the 13th, and the deep necklines of the 14th.Combined with a high-collar, full-train, an\u00a0Underdress<\/a>, and a tall Hat, or\u00a0Henin<\/a>, the end result was a stunningly elegant gown that is associated with the fair damsel to this day.<\/p>

The houppelande continued to evolve throughout the 1400s, and we have chosen to reproduce a style that would have fashionable amongst courtiers and wealthy burghers throughout the second and third quarters of the 15th century. Based on primarily northern Italian and Burgundian sources, the two great fashion centers of the period, this style had a broad, international appeal, and can be found throughout England, France and the Holy Roman Empire. In honor of the garment\u2019s inherent elegance and sumptuousness, we are introducing our houppelande in\u00a0natural Brocade<\/a>, and\u00a0sumptuous Wool<\/a>\u00a0in a dazzling array of jewel tones. With its deep neckline, wearing the houppelande over our simple, white, linen\u00a0Underdress<\/a>\u00a0protects milady\u2019s modesty, and gives the ensemble its finished look. We specifically designed the neck to be worn in 3 different styles (as shown below) either with collar folded down and flared out to show off your underdress and collar bones, with the collar stood up to its for height for an elegant silhouette suited to court dress or modestly\u00a0pinned<\/a>\u00a0closed at the neck for yet a third look.<\/p>

When we completed the prototypes for this gown we were amazed how women from waif to rubenesque could don the same garment and be instantly transformed into a lady of station and grace. When you try on yours, you\u2019ll instantly see why this may be the most stunning gown we have ever produced!<\/p><\/div><\/div>
