Reproduction Viking apron dress was made for the Greater Bay Area Costumers Guild (GBACG) Midsommer Viking Celebration picnic at Tilden Park June 2018. My friend and I both made similar styles and colors of dresses without each other knowing. It was a fun surprise.

Other sites find the Viking apron to be historically questionable. It is currently, a popular re-creation as an over dress, over either one or two layers.

Shift/Underdress

Long sleeve green rayon linen full length dress has gores on the sides and back and navy blue rayon linen seam binding on neck and sleeve edges. Used the Tudor Tailor smock pattern as a base. Made the shoulders too big and then over corrected and made them too small so does weird pull lines and bunching near shoulders/armscye.
