Ladies Dresses and Gowns
Viking Apron Dress / Overdress Tinna,
The most characteristic features of these overdresses were the shoulder straps and the simple tubular shape. Such dresses could be fitted with slits, so-called gores (added wedge-shaped pieces of fabric) or pleats, and some variants also featured an overlapping front. The length was normally mid-calf.
The Viking Age apron dress, also known as smokkr or hangerok (sometimes spelled hangeroc or hangerock) had two purposes. While the plain variant was a kind of bib apron or pinafore designed to protect the outer clothing the more elaborate variant - trimmed with braids, embroidery work, chains and oval (tortoise) brooches - was worn as a status symbol. The historical evidence for this type of dress is confirmed by finds and representations from the archaeological sites of Hedeby and Birka.
The over dress is made of thick canvas fabric (100% cotton) and thus very strong. It has a loosely tailored fit, is laced at the sides and has been kept plain and simple.
This apron dress looks best combined with a plain dress or shift and a belt.
