Why Women Wore Clothes
|
Women did not have more then 4 outfits maybe even less than four. The clothes that they wore ere made of wool and linen. All clothes were sewn. There elbows and knees had to be covered at all times, they could not be shown. Women had only 2 or 3 night gowns if they had more they would be really lucky to have to others.
The socks they wore were called stocking. The stocking were always above the knee. The stocking were always hand knitted. Stocking were held up by garments. Women only had 1 or 2 pairs of shoes. |
Women wore clothes to cover there body and important parts. They also wore clothes To cover there knees and elbows like I said in my last paragraph. They had to cover there knees and elbows because in that time they would consider that inappropriate.
