Fifth, a gown, loosely fitting, buckled at the neck, with sleeves wide at the top and tight at the wrist, or quite loose and coming to just below the elbow, or a tunic reaching only to the knees, both gown and tunic fastened with a belt.
Sixth, a surcoat sometimes, at others a cloak held together by a brooch, or made for travelling with a hood.
This completes an ordinary wardrobe of the time.
THE WOMEN
As may be seen from the plate, no change in costume took place.
The hair plaited and bound round the head or allowed to flow loose upon the shoulders.
Over the hair a gorget binding up the neck and chin. Over all a wimple pinned to the gorget.
A long loose gown with brooch at the neck. Sleeves tight at the wrist. The whole gown held in at the waist by a belt, with one long end hanging down.
Shoes made to fit the shape of the foot, and very elaborately embroidered and sewn.
A long cloak with buckle or lace fastening.
