12th Garments Gown Normans Shorter
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative 12th century image captures a moment in time, transporting us back to an era of chivalry and courtly elegance. Three men, dressed in the fashion of the day, are depicted in this print from the Mary Evans Collection. The central figure dons an ankle-length gown, the voluminous folds of which suggest the fine fabric and intricate embroidery typical of the high-status garments of the time. The gown's long sleeves are adorned with delicate cuffs, while a belt cinches the waist, accentuating the hourglass figure of the wearer. The two men on either side of the central figure are dressed in shorter garments, likely tunics or surcoats, that reveal their legs and arms. Their attire, while not as ornate as the central figure's, is still indicative of the Normans' influence on English fashion during this period. The men's tunics are belted at the waist and feature simple, yet elegant designs, such as vertical stripes or geometric patterns. The men's headgear further highlights the diversity of fashion during this time. The central figure wears a conical headdress, a common style among the nobility, while the other two men wear simple, round caps. The setting of the image is not clear, but the men's regal bearing and refined attire suggest a courtly environment. This image offers a fascinating glimpse into the fashion trends of the 12th century, a time when the Normans' influence on English culture was at its height. The men's ankle-length gowns and shorter garments reflect the evolving fashion landscape of the time, showcasing the elegance and sophistication of the era.
