Viking underdress- Serkr

In rich graves we can see that the first layer, closest to the body was a linen layer that is thought to be a shift. There is no hole shift that has survived, only fragments, but the common interpretation is that it could probably be the same simple pattern with blocks and gores that was used also in the medieval period and all the way to the 1800s. Intact woolen dresses and tunics from the end of viking age and early medieval that has been found are made with this type of pattern.
