Dear readers,
My name is Hope Rosie Ravnecer. I will be your guide on Colonial American fashion. Now let’s proceed. People in the 1750s to 1775 tended to dress in quite distinct fashion. With extremely large hair and gowns for wealthy women. Men wore felt hats a ruff, doublet, cuffs, garters, stockings and shoes with gold or silver buckles. Poor women wore a coif with a shift, waistcoat, apron, petticoat and shoes. It was considered a disgrace to show your elbows or ankles. Boys under five wore girls clothing.
