A Home Dress and apron from the Civil War Era

This house dress is of yellow, red and tan plaid gingham. The bodice is canvas-lined for extra strength and warmth. This dress was often worn hoopless when doing heavier chores or working in the garden.

(The apron was truly an indispensable item of working apparel in this time .working women in factories and mills wore large aprons: housemaids wore them: schoolteachers and shop assistants wore smaller, black cotton aprons, often with matching sleeve protectors: and many men wore aprons for their
work, from clerk to carpenters.) In this era cleanliness – washing oneself daily- was the latest fad and became an fashion. In the picture there are  a pitcher and basin such as would be found in each of the bedrooms in every home.
