There was a lot of variation in the fashions of rich women in the Middle Ages. It was a time that lasted about 1000 years and covered a continent.

In the West, during the first half or two thirds of the Middle Ages, most women were dressed simply in brown colored or black clothing most of the time. Most men were dressed the same way. When colors came into fashion, they hit men's fashions first. There was even a philosophical commentary on the fact that female humans were rightfully similar to all other females of all other species, less brightly colored than the males; male Robins have red breasts, and female are all brown, so it follows that women should also wear brown clothing.

Of course there were always women who wore bright clothing and jewelry in Constantinople. But the people in the West thought this was outlandish.

Later, people got more into colors and fabrics. People began to look like the jokers in decks of cards. Finally the women were as colorful as the men.

There are some pretty good web sites on medieval clothing. I have left a link below.

The styling of medieval women's clothes was based heavily upon the status of the person. Nuns and peasants dressed simply, while women of the higher classes flaunted their wealth with clothing done up in expensive dyes, embroidery and furs. Women wore special clothing to denote such events as being in mourning, and wore their most fanciful clothes to events such as jousts and religious holiday celebrations.

Jackets and bodices and long skirts, made of wool and/or linen. Under those clothes they often wore a shirt or vest that was changed and washed regularly (the other clothes were rarely washed). Bras are an invention of the 19th century and were not worn then; underpants or something like that were at best worn one week in the month.
