- Abstract:
- The kirtle, still over a chemise, continues as the basic garment. The cote-hardie is a new and more fitted garment. Over the kirtle, it is fitted through the torso by lacing or buttoning. It has a full, knee-length skirt. Sleeves are fitted to the elbow; below they are left open, the hanging end called a tippet. Always made of richer fabric than the kirtle, the cote-hardie sometimes is emblazoned, parti-colored, or rayed (striped). A hip belt and attached pouch are standard accessories. For warmth and vanity a padded doublet is under the cote-hardie. It is probably laced to the body and usually sleeveless. An undergarment and now infrequently seen, the doublet remains for several centuries in gradually changing forms. Hose are more shapely and often parti-colored. Shoes are sort and fitted through the foot, with slight points at the toes.
