	Dawnish clothing reflects this; brightly coloured and often extravagent. The basic items are tunics and close fitting trousers, although a cotehardie or gown can replace the tunic. Waistlines tend to be low, and the overall look tends to emphasise long lines. Decoration is often in the form of appliqued, embroidered, or painted images, rich fabrics, and dagged edging.
