Product description
Apron dresses formed an integral part of Viking clothing. These overdresses were characterised by their shoulder straps and a straightforward tubular shape. They could be designed with openings, known as slits, additional wedge-shaped fabric pieces called gores, or pleats. Some variations even included an overlapping front, typically reaching mid-calf length. During the Viking Age, the apron dress, also referred to as smokkr or hangerok (sometimes spelled hangeroc or hangerock), served dual purposes. The plain version acted as a bib apron or pinafore, offering protection to the outer clothing. The more intricate version, adorned with braids, embroidery, chains, and oval (tortoise) brooches, functioned as a symbol of status. Archaeological evidence supporting this type of dress has been discovered at sites such as Hedeby and Birka. This solid-coloured slip-over dress is crafted from thick canvas fabric (100% cotton), ensuring durability. It features a loosely tailored fit, side lacing, and is intentionally kept simple. The apron dress pairs well with a plain dress or shift, along with a belt. When accessorised appropriately, it is well-suited to portraying a Norse woman, maiden, or shield maiden.
