In this video I will show you how I made a medieval smock with no pattern and just a TShirt. A smock, also called a shift or a chemise, is a loose, shirtlike undergarment worn by women in the European Middle Ages under their gowns. It is basically your medieval underwear.

If you are interested in getting started in historical costuming the mediaeval era (particularly the high middle ages) is a great time period to start in for beginners.

I originally made this outfit for my husband so that he could volunteer at the Mediaeval Themed Homeschool Day where we worked, but then we decided that we needed more places to wear these outfits, so we looked up our local Society of Creative Anachronism (SCA) shire and attended our 1st event with them. More on that later...
