Womens dress, 14th century, (1910)
Womens dress, 14th century, (1910). Costume from the early reign of Edward III (ruled 1327-1377). The cincture around the hips of the middle figure is the forerunner of the jewelled belt of the latter part of the reign. The figures on the left and right wear the super cote-hardi, which was so long that it needed to be held up under the arm. Illustration from British Costume during 19 Centuries by Mrs Charles H Ashdown, (London, 1910)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a women's dress from the 14th century, as depicted in a book published in 1910. The costume is said to be from the early reign of Edward III, who ruled England from 1327 to 1377. The middle figure wears a cincture around her hips, which is considered the precursor to the jeweled belt that became popular later in Edward III's reign. On either side of her, two figures don the super cote-hardi, a long garment that required support under the arm. The image provides us with a glimpse into medieval fashion and female attire during this period in English history. It highlights intricate drapery and details such as girdles and trains that were characteristic of women's clothing at that time. This illustration comes from "British Costume during 19 Centuries" by Mrs Charles H Ashdown, published in London in 1910. Emily Jessie Ashdown is credited as its creator, although it also mentions Unknown as another contributor. Through this monochrome photograph, we are transported back to the fourteenth century when ladies would have adorned themselves with these elegant garments. It serves as a valuable historical record of fashion trends and clothing styles prevalent during this era.
