Viking women: Clothing: Aprondress (smokkr)
Hilde Thunem's apron dress, or "smokkr," based upon the Køstrup, Denmark, find. Note that this dress is also made from multiple pieces like the Hedeby-based dresses, but it has additional shaping from tiny pleats at the center front (the Køstrup piece was pleated). It's also worth noting that the pleats on this dress extend lower than on most recreations based upon the Køstrup find.

Sketch showing one possible position of the tablet-woven bands in Birka grave 735. It's not clear whether it was from a male or female body, and the type of garment is also uncertain.

Pleated fragments from Birka grave 517
Viking dress based off the Birka grave 735. This is the only one I've found so far that has done all the bands, most people do just a few bands across the top. I was so happy to find an actual reproduction of this interpretation!
