EDITORS COMMENTS
This image transports us back to the 15th century, specifically the tournament scene, where English spectators donned elaborate costumes to witness the chivalric displays. The women's gowns in this print showcase deep V-necklines and revers, narrow sleeves, and fur cuffs, adding a touch of opulence and warmth to their attire. The headdresses worn by these women are equally impressive, reflecting the fashion trends of the time. The truncated cone headdress, also known as a hennin, towers high above their heads, symbolizing wealth and status. The butterfly headdress features a V-shaped roll, adding a delicate and feminine touch to the overall design. Some women wear veils, adding an air of mystery and allure, while others don caps with liripipes, a long, pointed extension that frames the face. The steeple-like headdresses are a testament to the intricate and imaginative designs of the time. The deep, shaped headdresses were a hallmark of 15th-century fashion, with each element serving a purpose, be it for practicality or aesthetics. The revers, or the fabric that hangs down the back of the gown, adds an extra layer of luxury and elegance. This print offers a glimpse into the rich history of English costume during the medieval and gothic periods. The deep V-necklines, narrow sleeves, and fur cuffs are all characteristic of the era, while the headdresses showcase the creativity and innovation of the time. The combination of the intricately designed headdresses and the elegant gowns creates a stunning visual representation of 15th-century fashion, making this print a must-have for any history or fashion enthusiast.
