ProfessorThe Middle Ages is often used to describe the 1000 year period from the fall of Rome to the Renaissance. There are some things that were generally true about clothing then.
Fabric was linen and wool. Anything else was a rare and expensive import.
Cloth was about the most expensive commodity there was. Women in particular spent their days spinning, weaving, and sewing. Noble women embroidered. Because of this, patterns were very thrifty of cloth, which was generally woven on looms that would seem narrow today. The patterns remind you of tangrams: rectangles and triangles that use all of the precious cloth.
Knitting was unknown, although in a few places there was a kind of knotting that looked like it (naalbinding).
Colors were made with vegetable dyes and some basic mordants. If you've ever tried this, you know how hard it is to get a strong, dark color. So, contrary to popular myth, pastels were common. Bold colors were a sign of wealth. So was bleaching.
Nearly everyone walked. A few nobles rode. Trousers, if they were worn at all, were like modern hiking clothes: short pants and removable leggings. Only in the far north (think Vikings) did anyone wear one-piece trousers.
Linen would go next to the skin, with wool for outer garments, just as today. Remember that this was mostly before the Little Ice Age of the 14th-19th centuries, so temperatures were warm--even warmer than today.
women of the middle ages dressed according to their class. although all women wore dresses, the quality of the fabric, color and the design varied on the class. very rich women wore many layers of brightly colored skirts and corsets. usually made of very heavy fabric or silk, the dresses were generally very expensive. women of the middle class tended to where less bright colors and usually didnt where corsets. women of the lower class useally wore brown or gray clothing that was only designed to be practical and inexpensive.

What is another name for the dark ages?
Oh, dude, the Dark Ages are like that awkward phase in history where everyone was just kind of stumbling around in the dark, figuratively and literally. It's also known as the Medieval period, you know, when knights were all about chivalry and jousting and stuff. So yeah, the Dark Ages, the Medieval period, whatever you want to call it, it was a wild time.
