Medieval linen dress "Forseti" – Authentic Viking dress for women
The Forseti linen dress in natural colour is more than just a simple medieval dress – it is a piece of living history. Inspired by historical Viking garments and crafted with great attention to detail, this floor-length ladies’ dress combines an authentic look with modern, high-quality workmanship. Anyone who values natural materials, timeless design and genuine comfort will find the ‘Forseti’ linen dress the ideal choice for medieval fairs, re-enactments and Viking camps.
Made from 100% linen in a plain weave, the dress showcases the natural properties of this time-honoured material: linen feels pleasantly cool against the skin and regulates body temperature naturally – a key advantage on warm event days. The classic round neckline gives the dress a simple, timeless look that works equally well in both historical and modern contexts. The long sleeves and floor-length cut create a complete, harmonious overall look that enhances any Viking or medieval outfit.
Particularly noteworthy are the gussets inserted at the side seams: these characteristic design details, which have their origins in historical models, give the skirt an elegantly flowing drape whilst also ensuring excellent freedom of movement. This means the dress can be worn comfortably all day long – whether you’re taking a leisurely stroll through the medieval market or taking part in lively re-enactment activities. On cooler days, we recommend pairing it with an outer garment, whilst a sturdy leather belt and matching accessories effortlessly transform the dress into a stylish outer garment.
