Gothic Velvet Children's Dress in Mi-Parti Style
Elegance from the Late Gothic Period
The historical basis of this magnificent dress falls into the period of the High and Late Gothic, roughly the 14th and 15th centuries. This style reflects the fashion of the wealthy classes of European society at that time. The two-tone design, known in history as the mi-parti style, was extremely popular during this period and served to display the heraldic colours of the family or as an extravagant fashion statement. The dress reaches down to the ground, giving it a majestic appearance. It is equipped with refined sleeves – the lower sleeves are long and narrow, while the upper sleeves are short, unsewn, and gently fastened with a ribbon. An unobtrusive zip is placed on the back for easier dressing. The front part is decorated with stitching evoking crossed lacing.

Velvet Care and Safety Guidelines
Genuine cotton velvet is a beautiful material, but it is slightly more demanding to maintain. We strongly recommend exclusively professional dry cleaning or very gentle hand washing in lukewarm water. Never wring the fabric by twisting it so as not to break the fine pile, and under no circumstances dry the garment in a tumble dryer. Ironing is only possible from the reverse side on the lowest temperature setting. From a safety perspective, make sure that the child does not step on the long hem of the dress while running or walking up the stairs, which could lead to a dangerous fall. Here you will find detailed Cleaning and maintenance instructions.
Recommended Historical Accessories
For this Gothic garment, we recommend acquiring a simple linen shift corresponding to the 14th and 15th centuries as a base layer. A fine leather belt with a brass buckle and period leather turnshoes or low medieval shoes that will complete the overall look of the costume are also great additions. Please note that modern accessories shown in the photographs (e.g., hair clips) are not included in the delivery.
