  The outfit consists of the sleeveless brocade surcotte lined with golden satin and the silk dupioni cotte with buttons filled with wool, which is buttoned up under the chin with a silver buckle with pearls made by goldsmith Mgr. Michaela Kršková. Under the cotte  the shirt, drawers, stockings with garters and turned leather shoes are worn. The surcotte and the cotte are made according to patterns of S. Thursfield (The medieval tailor’s assistant). The headdress is made of laying braids and is covered with hand-made red net. On this net there  a canvas stripe 4 meters long with wavy edges is wrapped. The headdress is trimmed with a tablet-woven tape with gold lance pattern, metal components and pearls.
