This clasps and suspenders business is hard to vizualize.

But I imagine there was a premium on clothing that kept people warm regardless of Christian or pre-Christian.

Danish bog finds indicate women (in summer I assume) wore a very short skirt and short top.

I would assume the summer or those Viking women were a lot tougher than we thought. Skimpy clothing and Scandanavian winters do not go together.
