First things first. For those of you who swear by the pink dress, yes, there's a version for you as well: [link]

...Aaaaand moving on. So Prince Philip does specifically and emphatically say "this is the 14th century!" at some point during the film, but Philip's an idiot (a handsome, handsome idiot) and I, never afraid to ignore source material, ignored him.

Oddly enough Philip's clothing is a better point of reference than Aurora's (since the hourglass, off-the-shoulder cut of her dress is straight out of the 1950's), and there are far more examples of his get-up from the 1460's onward than in the 14th century. I went with my gut and ended up with something around 1485- a little later than one might expect, but it's such a (beautifully) stylized film that all bets are off.

I fail at history but am becoming more interested in the history of fashion, so would this dress fall right between the medieval and renaissance eras? Or is it exclusively high-middle ages? Because to me it has an elegant-gothic-medieval look. The shoulder trim reminds me of a fur pelerine I saw here: [link]

Just a heads up that ren faire/medieval clothing stores are a horrible reference for period clothing- most of the products are usually a loose amalgamation of a bunch of time periods. :)

The 15th century was the bridging century between the so-called middle ages and renaissance, so you can call it what you will- fashion is never so cut and dry as history makes it out to be, especially when you consider the decades worth of clothing people wear nowadays and compare that to a time when fashion was even slower to propagate out to the masses. :)

The dork in me also thinks it's really great that if the film truly is set in the mid-1400's, that would make it the 15th century, but also make it likely that those who aren't terribly bright would think it was the 14th. (I too assumed that the number of century it was was just the first two digits of the year, probably until I was 11 or 12.) So it also works in-character too!

Oh wow. I've really enjoyed this series of images (especially your comments about your time period choices), but this one in particular is really fantastic. Beautifully striking image.

I love this, especially the spindle and wheel dress details! But her spindle doesn't seem to have a shaft—that would make it pretty hard to spin!

It's meant to be implied that the shaft is completely covered. :)
