Kampfrau Dress

Bold colours. Historical flair. 

The Kampfrau Dress combines late medieval style and Landsknecht flair into a single, wearable, and adjustable garment, ideal for everything from drunken carouses to multi-day campaign days at your local LARP. Red and green, or red and white, you have a dramatic look that can't help but make a great impression in the best way.

Its pleated hem flows with natural weight and movement, giving the illusion of you moving even when you're standing completely still. The floral cutwork trimming across the hem adds a bit of whimsy but stops short of being overdone. And with long tie-straps both in the front and back, you can control the fit—pull it in close or let it droop a bit, depending on how many layers you have on.

A Dress That Feels as Good as It Looks

The exterior is made of brushed wool, fuzzy and warm, with ridges just where they should be, and gentle against the skin on the inside. It will gladly drape over a chemise or shift (like our Shift Guila or Smock Violet), and it will retain its shape all day long.

The Kampfrau Dress draws inspiration from 16th-century fashion, particularly the styles worn by working-class women and camp followers, practical yet far from plain. It brings just enough structure to feel fitted without ever feeling restrictive. Whether you’re on your feet all day or dancing into the evening, you’ll move easily and stay comfortable.

And yes, we accessorized it here with matching sleeves and feather hats—those aren't included, but they're from the same collection if you'd like the entire look.
