• The cochineal-pink 1100s dress

  Look for the rose overdress dyed with dried scale insects, long enough to fold over the belly, with wrist-flared sleeves the museum says weren't made for working in.

• The burgomaster's wife, late 1300s

  A cochineal-red overdress embroidered all over with freshwater pearls, its big armholes edged in rabbit fur to show the tight indigo dress beneath.

• The queen's tomb dress

  A wine-red, goose-eye patterned wool overdress pleated from the waist up, copied from Queen Katarina Sunesdotter's 1200s tomb, now in this museum.

• The Sigtuna dress from the 1020s

  A needle case on a chain hangs from a ring brooch, both recreated from a woman's grave at Häggvik in Sollentuna.

• The merchant's wife, 1520s

  A black wool overdress with its wide sleeves pinned up at the shoulder to show the fur lining, over a red dress with silk-lined cuffs.
