What did a womens dress in the middle age say about her?
A woman's dress said a lot about her, as it told what her social position was. Rich people dressed better than poor, of course, but there were laws, called sumptuary laws, that restricted people of certain classes from wearing certain specific kinds of clothes, so a person who was merely rich could easily be distinguished from a person who was of a noble family. Sometimes the sumptuary laws also required prostitutes to wear distinguishing clothes, such as a red dress or a striped hood. And, of course, nuns wore distinctive clothing. There are links below.

What were the rules of the Tudor court?
There were many particularly if the monarch was in residence. For example people were not allowed to draw a weapon before the monarch unless to protect them. They could not fight or kill anyone within the 'verge of the court' if they did they would end up in the Fleet Prison. No one was allowed to become romantically involved or 'deflower' a woman in the royal family without permission from the King. There were also sumptuary laws which defined what the different ranks of people at court could and couldn't do. For example purple could only be worn by royalty, cloth of gold could only be worn by royalty and dukes... These were made to prevent self made men from showing off with costly clothes and goods, so they would always be set apart from the nobility. Elizabeth I passed more sumptuary laws than any other Tudor monarch, particularly towards the end of her reign when they became a little strange. For example cloaks were banned at court because it was thought that they made it harder for men to reach their swords to protect the Queen if need be and for a time there was a sumptuary law passed which meant that you had to wear a hat in the Queen's presence.
