Sleeveless women's shirt
Sleeveless shirt 2nd half 14th and 15th century.
Simple interpretation based on available sources.
There is a shirt top dated to the end of the 15th century which has been found and preserved.
It is quite complex and plays a real supporting role for the chest, but one can assume that there are simpler models when one looks at the whole set of representations.
The shirt is fitted with a linen belt that can be adjusted with a needle.There is a natural pleating formed by the bending.
