Women often wore a bonnet, a piece of linen cloth underneath it and a scarf to hold it in place. The bonnet was made of lace or embroidered. Skirts and petticoats (worn under the skirts) were covered by an apron of fine silk or embroidered cloth. A blouse and jacket completed the outfit. Often the blouse had hooks and laces in the front with patterns and a light scarf worn around the neck to cover the shoulders and throat.
