You’ve probably noticed that throughout The Sherwood Story (as well as The Novgorod Story), the female characters always wear stockings on their legs. Of course, I haven’t drawn attention to this before. But now you’ll know that Pavel even works on the underwear details of his female characters when designing their outfits. Naturally, you’ve also seen the hems of chemises under their dresses. You might not have paid much attention to it.
Pantaloons are a “Disney relic” in my story, as they belong to the Victorian era and have no relation to the 12th century. There was a hint of pantaloons in the “First Meeting” chapter, as Marian’s legs are without stockings. However, right after that, you can observe stockings appearing on her paws. This means that after the First Meeting (and the Healing), we quietly phase out pantaloons, replacing them with historically accurate stockings.
Pantaloons or similar undergarments covering the pelvic area did not exist in 12th-century Europe. Women, including noblewomen, wore nothing resembling modern underwear, as long dresses and chemises provided sufficient modesty.
Based on historical data, Marian, as a noblewoman in England in 1194, wore under her dress:

Linen chemise: a long, loose-fitting garment made of fine linen, covering the body from shoulders to ankles.


Stockings: long stockings, reaching above the knee, made of silk, secured with ribbons or laces. These are the only items covering the legs.


Nothing else: pantaloons or similar garments were absent, as long dresses and the chemise provided modesty.

Christian notions of modesty required the body to be covered, but underwear in the modern sense was considered unnecessary. Long dresses and chemises concealed everything needed, especially for noblewomen who were rarely in situations requiring additional coverage.
