2. The petticoat is worn under many different gowns and dresses, used to close the space in front of an open-fronted robe. There are different petticoats, including the hooped and silk ones. You can try layering petticoats, depending on the weather. Buy one and get another half off! A shift is the innermost layer of a garment. You probably own 2 or 3, but why not get another ? Besides, you would get quite smelly when you don’t launder for a few months. Use it as a nightgown or gift it to a friend!

3. If you’re not a member of a wealthy family, don’t look here! Wigs are for the rich, both men and women. They come in different lengths, curls, and fabric. The pelt on a wig was made of either animal or human hair. If you are wondering who came up with this dumb wig idea, it was started after King Louis XIII of France started to go hairless. So blame the king! (Tip: Curls are in!)

4. A cloak is worn during the winter. In assorted colors, our cloaks are made of wool and will keep you warm during the colder seasons. Red is one of our most popular shades, as to the tale of little red riding hood. Muffs are essential for those cold wintery days, so buy one before they are sold out! Made of fur, cloth, and other materials, a muff is used to keep your hands warm and cozy.

5. If you’re looking for a new pair of shoes, why not shop here? Our shoes come with assorted styles, such as silk, worsteds, slippers, clogs, and satin, with no rights or lefts. In town, our own professional cobblers handmade them with sewing equipment. Many of our shoes include buckles to keep them on tight.

6. The mob cap is very popular for any woman. It is sensible yet stylish for you to wear one. There were different caps made, and the styles change regularly. Hats are sometimes worn over them. It can protect your hair from dirt. Colors vary from white to black. Both men and women wear stockings. Stockings are made of wool and linen, so the materials are not very flexible. They are held up with garters, special ribbons which help keep them up. Our stockings come in different lengths.

7. This is a fan. It is an accessory, mainly for the wealthy. Fans are made of animal skin\bones and bamboo. Some of our fans come with picture, as shown in the picture.
