As one delves back into what is known about costume in the Migration Period and the Viking Age, it quickly becomes clear that we seldom know what the original garments looked like, let alone what the people who wore them called them. A good way to illustrate the types of problems that arise is to discuss the so-called Viking apron dress.

A small graveyard in Køstrup, Fyn in Denmark was excavated in 1980-1981. Of the fifteen graves that were found, only one is of interest to the textile enthusiast s, namely grave ACQ. The grave contained a small casket with ironwork and a lock, two tortoise brooches, several textile fragments, six glass beads, two quartz beads, an iron knife with sheath, and an iron key (too large to fit the lock of the casket). The grave goods are described by Charlotta Lindblom, and according to her, they indicate that the grave is from the 10th century.

Being a fan of the Viking age and culture, I wanted to make an apron dress out of wool befitting a lady residing in 10th Century Jorvik, a bustling trader town at that time. After searching the available resources I settled on a pattern that would give a more tailored appearance and yet maintain the geometric shapes and clean lines that seem to have been popular during this time.

Compiled by Countess Dulcia MacPherson . "There is a lot of informatio n available about Viking Costuming and Viking Culture, but unfortunat ely much of it is not easilyavai lable to the average SCAer. Much of what IS available is extremely vague about their sources of informatio n and tends to passalong misunderst andings and old interpreta tions without attempting to verify the accuracy of the informatio n. Much of the remainingi nformation that is available tends to be published as individual works and articles in extreme specialty areas or exists of nuggets of informatio n hidden within much larger, general topic works. There is also a lot of informatio n that is outdated, proven to beinaccura te (or just plain wrong!), or at best, misleading . The goal of this project is to bring together the findings of establishe d expertsand recognized amateurs to develop a more accurate picture of Viking women’s clothing c.1000 AD."

This article focuses on the garment that was worn by Viking women together with the characteri stic oval brooches. The garment has often been referred to as an aprondress (hängerock ) by the archaeolog ists, but Thor Ewing points out that the term "smokkr" used in the Viking poem Rígsþula may be the contempora ry name. Just as for other Viking garments the archaeolog ical evidence is fragmentar y, and the scholars do not agree on the interpreta tion of what little evidence exists. My intention with gathering different archaeolog ical facts and interpreta tions is to make my own best guess.
