Sleeveless shirt sourced from the second half of the 14th and 15th centuries.
Simple interpretation based on the sources available.
A top of a shirt dating from the late 15th century has been found and preserved.
It is quite complex and plays a real role in supporting the bust, but we can assume that simpler models existed when looking at all the depictions.
The shirt is cinched by a linen belt adjustable with a point.
A natural pleating is then formed by the cinching.
Material: 100% linen
Assembly: Machine
