Occasionally women are shown wearing an Over Dress with no visible dress beneath, although it is likely that they are still wearing an [[Under Shift]]. [[POOR]] Women are often depicted wearing a short mid-shin length Over Dress in this fashion.
→Over Dresses
A woollen over-dress is similar to a dress but has loose sleeves that usually end just before the wrist exposing the rucked sleeves of the dress beneath although occasional examples can end mid forearm. During the [[Mid]] Period (AD 980-1040) a version of the over-dress was worn that had a shorter skirt so as to expose the hem of the dress.
