The design of Burgschneider's collection of medieval dresses follows the layered principle in almost all models. Women typically dressed in multiple layers, meaning they usually wore an underdress, over which they would wear an overdress, and often a third garment as a cloak or outer layer.

Medieval Dresses Through the Ages

As contemporary illustrations show, throughout the Middle Ages, women were expected to be dressed in ankle-length garments. Anything shorter was likely considered indecent. Sleeveless overgarments, known as surcots, were often worn over the undergarments. These surcots frequently had large armholes, leaving only a narrow strip of fabric down the middle.

In very cold weather, a long-sleeved garment was worn on top, which, from the High Middle Ages onward, was typically paired with a hood. While early medieval dresses were largely practical, dresses in the High and Late Middle Ages gained various fashionable components, many of which were less practical for everyday use due to the increasing urbanization.

For example, sleeves became wider, eventually evolving into long trailing sleeves. Figures were more accentuated, and necklines became deeper.
