Renaissance Hooded Dresses
for the Traveling Noblewoman

During the Medival and Renaissance eras, the nobility often wore hooded dresses instead of cloaks when traveling on horseback or in carriages. These dresses were usually made of heavier luxury fabrics to protect them from the outside elements.

They could be very elaborate dresses made for royalty or simpler dresses made without the rich, intricate embellishments. It all depended on the wealth of the lady wearing the dress. The hooded traveling dresses featured on this page are catering to upper-class Medieval and Renaissance women.

During the Renaissance period, you could always tell the class of a woman by the way she dressed and the colors she wore, even when traveling. Laws were made by the King of the realm to separate the classes. For example, only the wives and daughters of noblemen ranking above an Earl (not all noblemen) could wear crimson or scarlet. Wealthy women could wear clothing made from printed fabrics while lower-class women could not.

Precious jewels, pearls, and fur along with intricate embroidery using gold or silk thread were used to adorn the traveling outfits of wealthy women. Naturally, the lower-class women could not afford such finery.

The hooded dresses I am featuring on this page will make wonderful costumes. Wear them to Renaissance Fairs, LARP events, Role Playing Games events, Cosplay events, theater productions, or to a Halloween ball. They all have attached hoods for travel and are made from a variety of fabrics and colors.

Be sure to use the Asian sizing chart they furnished on the description page and not the Amazon chart, as the Asian sizes run smaller than American sizes. If you can’t find your measurements, they will custom make your dress at no extra charge. Just be sure to measure accurately as there are no returns on custom orders.

The great thing about this costume is it can be worn for several different eras and themes, such as the Renaissance, Gothic, Fantasy, and Victorian. Just change the accessories to the time period you wish to portray.

Medieval Renaissance Women’s Velvet Hooded Travel Dresses

Velvet hooded dresses were only affordable by the wives and daughters of royals and nobles. Lower-class and peasant women could not afford the luxurious fabrics. Due to the Sumptuary Laws of Medieval Europe, it was also against the law for peasants to wear fine fabrics. The wealthy did not want someone from a lower-class presume to be a better class than they were born into. The wealthy make it clear through fashion as to the distinctions between the class levels of society.

Women’s Renaissance White and Black Florial Design Hooded Costume Dress

Women's Renaissance White and Black Florial Design Hooded Long Train Costume Dress - DeluxeAdultCostumes.comWomen’s Renaissance White and Black Design Hooded Costume DressClick Here for Details

Featuring a white Renaissance gown with a black floral damask design as the front panel of this fabulous hooded dress. The hood lining and the upper arms of the trumpet sleeves are a matching black floral print creating a beautiful contrast to the white gown. The square neckline and upper arm sleeves are accented with regal silver and black embroidered ribbon trim. The hems of the bell sleeves are trimmed with black piping.

Both the front and the back of the dress lace-up, as was customary during the Medieval period. The front lacings are decorative while the back lacings are adjustable for a perfect fit.

The gown has a long train which will give you a regal appearance as it flows out from behind as you walk across the floor of the event you are attending. If riding a trusty steed in an equestrian or a reenactment event, the train will drape beautifully across the back of the horse.

This is a perfect costume to wear if playing Arwen, the daughter of the elf Elrond of Rivendell, one of the High Elves in Middle Earth from The Lord of the Rings.

Medieval Renaissance Dress by CosplayDiy

Adult Women's Maria Medieval Renaissance Dress - DeluxeAdultCostumes.comAdult Women’s Maria Medieval Renaissance DressClick Here for Details

During the Middle Ages, riding horseback was the mode of transportation. This is a dress that would have been worn by a noble woman when traveling on horseback through Medieval Europe. During this time women usually rode using a side-saddle or in a carriage. The lovely dress is a light chiffon copper fabric with an embroidered trim around the neckline, down the front panels of the dress, at the elbow and on the hem of the long trumpet sleeves, and on the attached hood. It is a perfect dress for summer travel. The dress has decorative lacing on the front bodice with adjustable back lacings.

The same style and trim as the copper dress featured above, but this blue traveling Medieval dress is a light summer polyester fabric. The hood and sleeves are lined with dark gold fabric. The front decorative lacing is a matching dark gold ribbon and not brown. The back lacings are blue ribbon and adjustable to secure a perfect waistline fit. Wear the dress as is for a Medieval look. If you prefer a more Renaissance look, then I recommend wearing a crinoline or a hoop skirt under the dress for fullness.

I love this hooded dress as a Maid Marian costume. It is perfect for a couples costume with the male counter part playing Robin Hood. Another couples idea is to use the costume to play The Lord of the Rings character, the elf Queen Arwen with your partner wearing an elf King Aragorn of Arnor costume.

This handsome riding dress has strings at the sleeves to ruche the sleeves up for your own personal comfort. It’s a good way to keep your sleeves up while washing hands to prevent them from getting wet. I also like to draw up the sleeves when sitting down to eat, then dropping them back down again when my hands are no longer in use.

The blue hood and the trumpet sleeves of this CosplayDiy costume dress are lined with a dark yellow fabric. The front ties are also a dark yellow and are not meant to cinch close. They are merely for decoration and should be left open to achieve the same look as the image. The blue lacings in the back are adjustable for a perfect fit. If getting any of the the CosplayDiy dresses custom made, I recommend adding a couple of inches to allow for movement in the arms, waist and chest areas. They will make it exactly to the measurements you send. If you need a couples costume, click this tunic link to get a matching tunic for your partner to wear.
