Wide Flared Medieval Cotton Skirt with Practical Hidden Pockets
Construction and Practical Features
Designed with the wearer's comfort in mind, the waistband features a drawstring channel, allowing you to adjust the fit perfectly to your hips. The ends of the drawstring are finished with decorative wooden beads for a rustic feel. The most outstanding feature, however, is the two hidden internal pockets. While pockets were rare in the Middle Ages (pouches were more common), these integrated pockets allow you to carry a mobile phone, keys, or coins without ruining the historical lines of your costume.

Historical Context and Regional Origin
This style of skirt is inspired by European fashion of the High and Late Middle Ages (approx. 13th to 15th century). During this era, volume in clothing represented modesty and resourcefulness. Natural, undyed fabrics like cotton or linen were typical for common folk, artisans, or served as an essential under-layer (petticoat) beneath heavier woollen gowns. This versatile design is suitable for characters from across Western and Central Europe, making it a staple for any reenactor.
Maintenance and Cotton Care
Cotton is a durable natural material but requires proper care. We recommend a machine wash at 30°C (approx. 86°F) with similar colours. Natural cotton may shrink slightly (approx. 3–5%) during the first wash. Iron on a medium to high setting. Avoid using a tumble dryer to preserve the fabric strength and the wooden beads on the drawstring.
Safety and Recommendations
When wearing a long and voluminous skirt, please take extra care when walking on stairs or uneven forest terrain to avoid tripping. Keep away from open flames! Cotton is highly flammable; maintain a safe distance from campfires to prevent embers from burning holes in the fabric.
Please note that only the skirt is included in the sale. Other items shown in the photographs, such as the blouse, belt, or headwear, are available separately in our online shop. We recommend pairing this skirt with a matching medieval blouse and a leather belt from our collection to create a complete and authentic look.
