Dress of Agnes of Babenberger

The next lady in line is Agnes of Babenberger, with a large brown and green dress.

This picture is from the lovely Eme's compendium

The Gown
It's not possible to see what is underneath the large gown, so your guess is as good as mine. The gown however is quite detailed, made in a brown, patterned fabric with a silky feeling to it. Over the shoulders and at the end of the sleeves, a green patterned silky fabric has been used.

I found this gown to be rather hard to figure out. On Myra Hem's costume page she lists the gown as being a schaube with a flat collar, which I think is a very fitting description. The green part of the gown over Agne's shoulders is thus the collar of the gown. Myra also has an excellent dress diary on the making of a schaube.

The headdress
Agne's head is covered with a large embroidered fabric, where "the beginning" of the fabric (The part that is closest to the front head) has been folded approximately 9 times. Marie Cadieux and Nova Corpora both have construction theories on this type of headdress. A long, thin line of fabric with several stripes of embroidery hangs from the headdress.

The embroidery pattern is a bit hard to see, but the pattern below, to the left, is my suggestion after spending quite a lot of time zooming and adjusting the lightness and contrast of the picture. The crosses look like a cross with a coloured knot around its middle, but if you zoom in, it looks like what I've depicted below. It seems that every second group of filled squares are a pinkish red, and the other half are brown-ish.

   

Accessories
It's a bit hard to see if Agnes is wearing a very wide necklace, or if the brown gown is separated from the green shoulder-part and has a heavily embroidered neck. From the neck there is a long piece of jewellery that reaches her breasts.
