Viking Age Women and Children
On the Trail of Viking Women
by
Jane Kershaw
"
Scandinavian brooches possess distinctive oval, trefoil, lozenge and convex-disc shapes and carry motifs drawn from pre-Christian, Scandinavian art styles. Common designs are in both "Borre style" (ringchain and knot motifs, together with cat-like animals with symmetrical, gripping bodies) and "Jelling style" (profiled animals with open jaws, ear lappets – pigtails – and S-shaped bodies)."

Fibers
Viking and Early Middle Ages Northern Scandinavian Textiles Proven to be made with Hemp
by G. Skoglund, M. Nockert & B. Holst
Scientific Reports 3, Article number: 2686, doi:10.1038/srep02686
"Nowadays most plant textiles used for clothing and household are made of cotton and viscose. Before the 19th century however, plant textiles were mainly made from locally available raw materials, in Scandinavia these were: nettle, hemp and flax. It is generally believed that in Viking and early Middle Ages Scandinavia hemp was used only for coarse textiles (i.e. rope and sailcloth). Here we present an investigation of 10 Scandinavian plant fibre textiles from the Viking and Early Middle Ages, believed to be locally produced. Up till now they were all believed to be made of flax. We show that 4 textiles, including two pieces of the famous Överhogdal Viking wall-hanging are in fact made with hemp (in three cases hemp and flax are mixed). This indicates that hemp was important, not only for coarse but also for fine textile production in Viking and Early Middle Ages in Scandinavia."
Tables and Comparisons by Rebecca Lucas: Medieval-Baltic: Notes on the "Apron Dress":
Apron and underdress textiles (2-page, PDF)*****
by Rebecca Lucas / Rebecca Le Get
"A table of all of the graves I could find [PDF, 42 Kb], when I was asked about women wearing only a linen underdress with an apron dress over the top, and what material the dress loop-straps were made of. The majority of the graves appear to have evidence pointing towards women having linen straps, even when their apron dress is made of wool. It is tempting to suggest this was intentional, and the linen straps perhaps blended in with the linen dress worn underneath?"

Do yourself a great favor and look at her LONG list of tutorials which include a long list of pre-1600 clothing and items as well as modern items and sewing tips.
