T...Edward Winslow's account was fascinating JP. Thank you. Another post packed with information. Just think how easy it will be for future generations to find out what we wore in the 21st century. Just as well, the diversity of today's fashion is such that it would be hard to say what is 'normal attire' I think just going by a few paintings of the time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8437568357596254482.post-58090396098241742882011-11-17T19:40:10.059-05:002011-11-17T19:40:10.059-05:00Thanks, Ckay.

Interesting what you say about your mother discovering that under all those layers the undergarments were crotchless. I believe women didn't start wearing anything that vaguely resembled panties until the turn of the 19th century. I'll be talking about that in my mid-February blog, which will be about underwear and lingerie.JP Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05918323060522352669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8437568357596254482.post-10542625775978009632011-11-16T15:16:36.050-05:002011-11-16T15:16:36.050-05:00I admire historical writers because there has to b...I admire historical writers because there has to be a ton of research. My mom started dressing dolls in period dress and was shocked to learn that with the many layers of clothing, a woman's undergarments were crotchless. After the initial shock wore off, she laughed and said she always wondered what happened when they had to get to the bathroom in a hurry.

I often do think that our ideas of the apparel, accessories and even expressions of people prior to the age of photography are too heavily influenced by the surviving paintings of the era; so primarily the aristocracy, sometimes the middle class trying to look like the aristocracy, and any servants or peasants (when they crop up at all) depicted as their masters/betters have decreed.Stephanienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8437568357596254482.post-20689805456130767862011-11-10T11:25:44.250-05:002011-11-10T11:25:44.250-05:00As usual very informative and interesting.
