Shift GiuliaShift Giulia If you are new to historical costuming, you will likely find the Shift Giulia from Epic Armoury to be a very welcome addition to your wardrobe. The Shift Giulia is generally the first item you will wear when adding to an outfit; it is worn underneath all other pieces of clothing. Historically, they were used to protect the thicker outer garments from body oils and provide a barrier between your skin and the coarser outer garment fabric.
