To continueThis 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 girl wears an apron: nearly every woman of the era wore an apron at some time during the day, for cooking, sewing, cleaning or gardening, and there was a different size apron for almost every chore. (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.
