The typical Medieval Women's Fashion during the period of 1300 - 1400 featured:
Women's clothing, the coats and surcoats, often trailed on the ground
Hats consisted of a frame of wirework covered over with stuff which was embroidered or trimmed with lace
The hair was kept back by a silken net, or crépine, attached either to a frontlet, or to a metal fillet, or confined by a veil of very light material
Whilst male attire had extended to the utmost limit of extravagance, women's clothing was dignified with elegant simplicity
The coat, or under garment, which formerly only showed itself through awkwardly-contrived openings, now displayed the harmonious outlines of the figure to advantage, thanks to the large openings in the overcoat
The surcoat, kept back on the shoulders by two narrow bands, became a sort of wide and trailing skirt, which majestically draped the lower part of the body
The external corset was invented, which was a kind of short mantle, falling down before and behind without concealing any of the fine outlines of the bust. This new article of women's clothing was kept in its place in the middle of the chest by a steel busk encased in some rich lace-work, was generally made of fur in winter and of silk in summer
The fashion of wearing false hair continued in great favour
Nets were again adopted, and head-dresses which, whilst permitting a display of masses of false hair, hid the horsehair or padded puffs
