The medieval hood has its roots in ancient times but evolved significantly during the medieval period. The word “hood” is derived from the Anglo-Saxon word “höd,” which is related to “hat.” During the medieval era, hoods with short capes, called chaperones, were fashionable among all social classes. Hoods became more popular in Europe during the 12th century when short capes with attached hoods were imported from Normandy. Hoods underwent further changes in design during the 14th century, with the addition of the liripipes, which added elegance and style to the garment. The medieval hood was primarily used as protection from the environment, such as defending against cold weather, wind, and rain. In some cases, hoods were even used to protect against bladed weapons as an extra layer of defence. Medieval Hoods by AndScene is licensed by CC BY-SA 2.0

Medieval women's dresses were made from a variety of materials, each with its own purpose and symbolism:

• Linen: A lightweight, breathable material commonly used for medieval tunics.
• Wool: Ideal for keeping warm in cold climates, wool was prized for its durability.
• Fur: Animal skins such as fox and wolf were used to create luxurious and warm clothing.
• Silk: Reserved for the highest classes, silk was embroidered with gold threads, creating luxurious dresses.
• Gold and silver thread: It was used to enhance the beauty of dresses, adding a touch of shine and sophistication.

These materials reflected the availability and status of the woman who wore them, making medieval dresses a visual manifestation of the society of the time.

The differences lay in the quality of the materials and the decorative details. The upper classes often wore silk dresses with elaborate embroidery, while the working classes opted for simpler tunics.

The fashion for medieval dress evolved from simplicity and functionality in the 11th and 12th centuries to elegance and sophistication in the Renaissance, with voluminous dresses and extravagant details.

The materials used in medieval dresses, such as linen, wool, leather, silk, and gold and silver thread, reflected the social status and availability of resources of the woman who wore them.
