By the year 1000, the oval brooches that so typify Viking Women's dress were
out of style.  Very few are found in grave sites dating from the 11th
century.

Other than that, I've no idea.  My garb research has all been centered
around the oval brooch styles of clothing.

You might check out what women were wearing in France at that time.
Normandy had close and strong ties to Scandinavia.
