The gown worn underneath is made of two-tone silk. Both pieces as well as the headdress are based on an original pattern of the 14th century, giving the dress its beautiful pleats and the correct shape.
The wonderful embroidery was made of metal thread. The floral ornament around the hemline corresponds to a book painture of the 14th century, the flowers covering the dress follow the look of a medieval brooch which can be seen in the Magdeburg Cathedral.

Burgundian Court dress, late 15th century
The pattern, which is woven in this linen brocade, corresponds to contemporary fabrics in the 15th century.
Burgundian Double Horn Bonnet: we basicly used a felt hat and covered it with silk organza. The double horn also consists of silk and is embroidered with golden pearls and red sweetwater pearls.
For the belt we used antique brocade and embroidered it with pearls.
This handmade embroidery shows the french lily. It is formed by black and grey sweetwater pearls and silver metallic fabric
Medevial dress late 15th century:

Male doublet, second half of the 15th century
Again did contemporary paintings serve as model concerning cut, colour and choice of material. Our jacket is made of blue wool, shows at the front as well as on the back the typical foldings and is closed with hidden small hooks and eyes.
Though the foldings in this doublet derive from the belt, the sewn pleats were very commonplace. The cut of the collar is very well visible here.As the original demands we have cut the collar with the typical inset

The jacket tends towards the Italian Early Renaissance.
The houppelande is made of brocade from a French manufacturer, who still offers original historical dessins. The pattern is woven in saphire blue/antique silver.
The sleeves and the seam are made of finest blue silk.
Sleeves and collar are lined with natural fur."Skirt"-style part of the houppelande, with colours taking turns with each drapery
