 History Pages Isle of Man - Dress
The simplest clothes found at Haithabu were made of the roughest woollen fabric, suggesting that these were the clothes of slaves, servants and the poor, or the daily dress of the better-off.
Better-quality clothing was also found in the rags of Haithabu and here the finds are similar to those of the clothing from Birka and elsewhere in Scandinavia: over a linen shift, women wore an overdress of fine woollen fabric, held up by the ubiquitous pair of brooches.
However, whereas elsewhere the overdress has always been reconstructed as a straight garment, the Haithabu finds indicate that there at least it was tailored at the waist.
