Medieval Fantasy Elven Ranger Dress, Green & Brown

A Design That Will Enchant

This garment captivates at first glance with its sophisticated and flattering silhouette.

• Overall Appearance: The dress features a rich, forest green colour. It is ankle-length and made from a sturdy yet breathable 100% cotton fabric.
• Bodice and Waist: The fitted bodice, with its modest scoop neckline, transitions to a "V" shape at the waist, creating a slimming effect. The waist is accentuated by a stitched band with decorative trim. At the back, corset-style lacing allows you to tailor the dress for a perfect fit.
• Unique Sleeves: The most striking feature is undoubtedly the sleeves, which create the illusion of two layers. The green cotton outer sleeves are wide, flowing, and split open to reveal fitted under-sleeves in a contrasting brown. These are made from lightweight and cool 100% linen and are adorned with functional lacing on the forearm.

What Occasions Is This Dress For?

This versatile dress is the ideal foundation for countless fantasy and historical characters. It is perfectly suited as:

• A costume for an elf, ranger, or woodland nymph at LARP and other fantasy events.
• A garment for cosplay characters inspired by worlds like The Lord of the Rings or The Witcher.
• An authentic-looking outfit for medieval faires, historical festivals, and themed weddings.

Historical Inspiration & Fantasy Lore

Although this is a fantasy garment, its cut draws inspiration from European medieval fashion, particularly from the Gothic period. Long, flowing dresses (known as a cotte or kirtle) were a staple of a woman's wardrobe. In the later Middle Ages and Renaissance, split and layered sleeves were a sign of wealth and high social status, as they demonstrated the wearer could afford more expensive fabric. This design element has been enthusiastically adopted into fantasy, where it often symbolises the elegance and mystique of the elven race.

Design Spotlight: The Practical Illusion of Layers

The clever design that combines two sleeve layers into a single garment is not only visually impressive but also highly practical. You get the rich, complex look of a layered costume without having to wear two separate garments. This is a feature you will appreciate during physically demanding activities, such as LARP combat or dancing at a festival, as well as in warmer weather.

How to Care for Your Dress

To keep your dress beautiful for many adventures to come, please follow these care instructions:

• Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at up to 40°C (104°F). It is best to use a colour-safe detergent. Wash with similar colours to be safe.
• Drying: You can tumble dry the dress on a low setting, but for a longer lifespan, we recommend air-drying it on a hanger.
• Ironing: Iron on a low to medium heat setting (the setting for cotton and linen).
