This 14th century adapted linen kirtle is super fun to wear! I made it entirely with hand sewing but it could be done by machine just as well. This is such a versatile piece, it can be styled historical, cottage core, dark academia, or fantasybounding. (I'm pretty excited to use this in more fantasy type outfits) its also super comfy, unrestrictive, and machine washable! I also made a medieval shift of course, which definitely isn't perfect (there are quite a few things I would change for next time) but it is functional! Anyways, thank you for reading, I hope you enjoy the video!
