Schaube
The scabbard is a wide, often bell-shaped, open-front, ungelted overskirt, which appeared in the 15th century to make the piebald skirt worn underneath visible. The Tappert , which was worn until the 16th century, is considered to be the forerunner of the Schaube .
The initially very simple form of the screw has been subjected to multiple changes over the years, which were particularly evident in the cut and trim of the very wide sleeves and collar as well as the hem of the skirt. Initially, the wealthy bourgeoisie had the screw down to their knees, but the highest classes down to their ankles. A fur trim soon became characteristic.
Only gradually did the scab pass over to women, and here it was extended like a train. As a gala dress, it was also shorter among the nobles in the 16th century, with puffed lower sleeves and open upper sleeves, with scholars a half-high collar and goller . The screw-like robe was preserved as an official dress through the 17th century and thereafter .
