The Rosalie's Medieval Woman Website

Designed as a springboard for those who wish to learn a little more about the medieval woman: what she wears and why, how to be beautiful according to medieval standards, her personal hygiene and a little about a medieval woman's life - clothing and dress accessories, celebrations and the customs associated with key events in her life- births, deaths, marriages, employment, education, pets and how she spent her days at home and on holidays. There's my sewing galleries, a shopping page, a bibliography and a bunch of other stuff there too!
