Pioneer Clothing

Pioneers in the olden days wore dresses
and trousers. The men and boys wore trousers
that were made of cotten and duck and the fabrics were very hard to were out. The women wore dresses that were just at the end of their ankle. It was inappropriate for them to show their ankle. Women and children often went barefoot. In the winter they dressed in animal skins. Some women wore bonnets or shawls around their heads to shade thier faces from the burning sun. If anything tore the women would sew a new patch into it.the women had long dresses made of cotton. They would make their dresses out of calico and cotton.In the summer they would make their dresses out of calico to keep them cool. In the winter they made them out of calico and cotton the cotten keep's them warm when they have to go and milk the cow when their husband is out hunting,and trading furs if he dose to get some cloth for his wife and children. So they have some clothing for the summer and winter. Their coths should last them about a year. In the summer they like to go barefoot unless it is raining and they don't want to get sick. So thats what they wore.
