Woolen Viking Apron Dress "Annik" – Diamond Twill, Brown
Design and Craftsmanship
This dress stands out due to its fabric. The diamond twill weave gives the brown wool a distinct, textured pattern that catches the light beautifully. The inner linings of the hems and straps are made from a blue melange fulled wool blend, providing a stylish contrast and extra durability. Side slits ensure you have full freedom of movement, whether you are hiking through the woods or tending to the camp. A delicate decorative stitch along the hem adds a final touch of hand-crafted charm.
How to Wear It
The Viking apron dress is designed to be worn as an outer layer:
- Layering: Wear it over a linen or light wool underdress (kirtle).
- Fastening: The straps are intended to be fastened on the chest using a pair of tortoise brooches (oval fibulas).
- Accessories: Enhance the look by hanging strings of glass or amber beads between the brooches, and wear a belt to carry your pouch and knife.

Care Instructions
To preserve the quality of the wool:
- Hand wash only in cold or lukewarm water using a wool-safe detergent.
- Air out the garment instead of washing it frequently; wool is naturally self-cleaning.
- Dry flat to prevent stretching. Do not use a tumble dryer.
What to Avoid
Do not wash in hot water or use bleach, as this will cause the wool to felt and shrink. Store with cedar or lavender to protect against moths.
Please Note: This listing is for the brown apron dress only. The underdress, brooches, belt, and other accessories shown in the photos are sold separately.
We suggest pairing this dress with authentic oval brooches to properly fasten the straps and complete your Viking ensemble.
