What were the clothes like at a Medieval European wedding?

                      Going to a Medieval wedding was extremely expensive even if you were only a guest. Guests would have to change their clothes 2-3 times. Guests would either wear their church clothes or if they had to buy new clothes for the wedding, they would have buy the most fancy outfit that they could afford. Since they already would have to buy new expensive clothes, imagine the cost times 3 since they had to change their clothes 3 times during the wedding.
                      The brides dress was more expensive though, wedding gowns in Medieval Europe were so valuable that they weren't even considered clothes, they were considered jewels because of their high value. The gowns were usually made out of silk or they could have scarlet on them but only the rich or the royal could afford scarlet. Gowns were decorated with feathers, beads, and pearls and it was common to have gold or silver embroidering.

How was a Medieval European dress made?

                  There are many steps to making a dress in Medieval Europe. First fabric was imported from northen Europe, and would go to stores, where people would buy the fabrics. The cost of the fabric varied over what the material was, scarelet was the most exspensive, and purple was only to be worn by royalty, because it was seen as a royal color.
           After the people bought the fabrics they would take it to a tailor and have it customly tailored. The tailor would measure the person and use a template to make the clothes out of the clothes, and when they were finally done the person would pay the tailor and in return the person they would get their clothes.

How would religous figures dress and what were crosses like in Medieval Europe?

                In Medieval Europe the Pope, who was the head of the Roman Catholic Church, would wear a very simple outfit. He wore a robe made out of scarlet cloth, and underneath he wore a tunic that was white wool. And his shoes were red with gold crosses embroidered on them.
               There were also the amazing crosses! Some crosses were up to  feet high!!! Most crosses were made out of wood covered with silver or gold. Some crosses had silvered figures placed around the base of the cross, and had jewels decorating all around the cross.

What were Medieval Europe shoes like?

                    Men and woemen wore very similar shoes, that were made of leather. Most were leather boots, but the favored ones were similar to sandals. They had hard, flat leather soles and had leather drawstrings to hold them on to your feet. Most shoes only lasted 2-3 months so they had to be replaced often. The cost of the shoes was not very high because of the fact that the shoes were made out of all leather and were just sandals.

Why was clothing so important in Medieval Europe?

                Clothing was so important in Medieval Europe because you were judged on your clothes. It was that simple. Your clothes determined the state of your soul, and your social standing. Dress was so important in Medieval Europe that there were laws about wearing only the clothes that you can afford so that people can place you financially, and socially.
                 The churches felt the opposite though, they thought that being too fashion conscious could certainly grantee you a place in hell. Even though the churches said this, people were still very fashion conscious, and broke the laws just to look their best and not be judged in a bad way.
