Medieval Woman: Historical Dress Up Game for Girls

Medieval Woman is a historical dress up game with a fantasy side. You dress one woman of the Middle Ages, and the wardrobe is broad enough to make her a peasant, a knight, a princess or a queen.

Real medieval clothing

The clothes are based on real garments of the period, which makes this creator a good fit for history lovers:

• chemises, the linen underdress worn by almost everyone
• corsets
• kirtles, the fitted gown worn over the chemise
• girdles, the belts worn at the waist

Layering a chemise, a kirtle and a girdle gives you an authentic everyday look. Adding richer fabrics and jewelry moves her up through the social ranks.

Headdresses

Head coverings were a big part of medieval and Tudor fashion, and the game has a varied selection of both. A simple veil suits a village woman, while a structured Tudor hood looks like a lady of the court.

Capes and a plague doctor mask

Layered capes add drama, and there is one surprising item: a plague doctor mask, the beaked mask worn in later centuries during epidemics. It is a striking piece for a darker, more mysterious character.

Items in her hands

An assortment of hand-held items includes weapons and other accessories. A sword makes her a knight, a basket makes her a villager and a scepter makes her a queen.

Medieval Woman is useful for creating characters for tabletop role-playing games like D&D, or simply for exploring what women wore in medieval Europe.
