Making a Real Medieval Dress - Herjolfsnes style [CC]

In this video I show you how I made my version of a medieval garment (D10585.1) from Norse Greenland. If you have always wanted to know how to look glamorous in a potato sack, this is the video for you!

Don’t forget to turn on the closed captions for explanations and comments throughout the video, and do share your favourite new life/sewing skill you unlocked in the comments!
