Welcome to my first medieval project since the ~Dawn Of My Channel~ in July 2021.
I’ve wanted to make a historybounding dress of this particular reference picture since I received the picture in my materials for a Costume Design class in 2011. (This was before I knew the term “historybounding”--I just knew I wanted something I could wear everyday which took inspiration from medieval clothing).
As a bonus, when researching reference pictures for the gown’s decoration, I stumbled across a Cambridge University Press article about the Mammen Finds (from a Viking burial in the 10th century) which was fascinating and which I have included here, along with two related websites.
I hope you enjoy the video! :)

Sketch of Acanthus Leaves Embroidery (from an 1869 article by Worsaae) about the Mammen Finds, reproduced in Heatherrosejones.com (She notes that the drawing is out of copyright)
*This website also gives detailed descriptions of her observations, a bibliography, and embroidery patterns from the Mammen Finds, which I did not use, but which you may find interesting. She gives permission only for personal, non-commercial use.
Blog with instructions for how to reproduce the Acanthus Leaves Embroidery from the Mammen Finds: opusanglicanum.wordpress.com/...
She gives instructions, with pictures included, about how to hand-sew the embroidery. Again, although I didn’t use this in my own project, I wanted to include it in case anyone finds it interesting.
