– In the Slavic and Scandinavian tradition, the underdress was most often linen or cotton (variants made of nettle or hemp are possible) and did not differ in richness of decoration, although it could be dyed and decorated with embroidery or braid.
– Almost always it was worn under a woolen dress, which, if possible, was already decorated with silk trim, brightly dyed and decorated with braid.
– It was possible to wear a single outer linen dress, which, if possible, was also dyed and decorated in every possible way.

In the European tradition – the earliest period of the Middle Ages, women wore clothes that hid the figure (veils, dalmatic) – the influence of the church still affected.
The European female costume consisted of two tunics – the lower (“cotte”) and the upper (“surcoat”), which were long, reaching the ankle, and were put on one over the other. Under the lower tunic, women wore a linen shirt – a chemise.
The lower tunic had long narrow sleeves, the surcoat had short and wide ones, or none at all. The upper tunic was belted.
