The layer that defines your look

It is the outer dress that decides whether you look like a Viking housewife or a medieval noblewoman. It is also the layer that adds colour, warmth and the final silhouette to your outfit.

Historically this was often the third, warming layer in wool – but in modern summer heat many prefer to wear the outer dress directly over the chemise as a lighter alternative. Here you will find everything from the iconic Viking apron dress to the elegant medieval surcote (our model “Hella”) with its characteristic wide armholes.
