In addition to an underskirt of linen an overskirt is worn which is has a double line of embroidery which reaches from the hem at ankle length to the neck,creating an elongated V shape. The sleeves of the underskirt are full length whilst those of the overskirt are three quarter length allowing the light material to be seen at the throat and lower arms. The women's dress incorporates a narrow leather belt or braid with a pendant seaxe and may also have a purse. The outer garment is red and that underneath a pale cream or light blue. Long Beads or a necklace complete the women's dress. Simple shoes are worn by both man and woman. The embroidery of the 7th century dress which shows where our national dress originated is itself very beautiful.
