Most Medieval Princesses wore a sort of long dress or long garment. The main thing that princesses normally wore were small crowns or expensive jewelry setting them apart from the lower subjects.

Could both men and women become citizens of medieval towns?

Given the number of towns and the huge variation in town governments of the Middle Ages, we can be sure that there were a number of towns that allowed women to be citizens and a number of other towns that did not. Also, please consider that there were women who were monarchs. Even in places where women were not allowed to be monarchs, there were women who held titles in their own rights. Eleanor of Aquitaine, who was Duchess of Aquitaine, is a good example. Town governments were often republican in certain areas, and were often run by guilds or guild members. Many guilds allowed women to be members.
