• Tudor Tailor exclusive

Woman's late 15th to early 16th century Tudor style side-lacing kirtle made for The Typical Tudor book and suitable for a middling or gentle woman from 1485 to the 1540s

Made of 100% lightweight worsted wool lined in undyed cream linen. The kirtle is interlined in the bodies with canvas and has a square neckline at the front and a deep V at the back. The skirt is pleated to the waist at front and back. The kirtle has hand stitched eyelets for lacing closed at both sides, making for a very adjustable fit. All finishing is by hand and there is no visible machine stitching on the inside or outside. 

Worn for a photoshoot and a few indoor events the kirtle is in good condition. 

No other garments are included.

Measurements:

Waist 28in (70cm) when laced closed

Bust 33in (82.5cm) when laced closed

Skirt length from waist to hem 42in (101.5cm)

Originally made for a 5' 5" tall woman and the skirt subsequently lengthened to fit the 5' 7" tall model (see last photo for addtional band of worsted at hem)
