Front Lace-up simple loose long-sleeved linen dress Cotte

Product information

A basic late medieval dress from the 14-15th centuries, known as the Cotte Simple, could be worn as either an outer garment or an underdress. It was considered everyday wear, worn both at work and at home. Its simple design ensured comfort and practicality, and it remained a characteristic element of the period's wardrobe.

• The authentic late medieval cut gives the body of the dress a classic, straight line that widens from the waist to a voluminous hem.
• The historical sleeves are sewn in to ensure a perfect fit to the figure - they taper towards the wrists, without creating folds and giving a neat, aesthetic look.
• The front is decorated with a long lacing, which is a characteristic detail of this dress.

In addition to its historical context, the dress is perfect for Renaissance fairs (Ren Faire), medieval events, as well as various LARPs and styles – from Medievalcore to Witchcore.

This product is machine-sewn in our workshop in Otwock, Poland. Each product is made to order.

Size & length

• Select the size based on the bust circumference at the widest point, according to our size chart!
• If you choose a standard size without providing your measurements, the product will be made to the maximum circumference from the chart (e.g., size M = 98 cm, not 91 cm).
• The size you choose does not affect the length – we will adjust it to your height.

Fabric & color

• The product is made of pure, 100% linen with an average weight of 185–220 g/m² – it is not transparent and keeps its shape.
• The material is pre-washed, softened and wash-resistant, so the product will last for years.
• High-quality confirmed by the Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 certificate. The linen comes from Belarusian crops.
• Colors may vary slightly due to supplier fabric rotation, lighting conditions and screen settings.

Washing & care instructions

• Wash on a delicate cycle at 40°C.
• Do not use bleach or stain removers!
• No high-speed spin (damages seams and fibers).
