Content: Belt
Belts were optional for women's clothing. They were made of leather with brass or silver buckles. Pin Ball & Scissor Clip
Some women kept their sewing equipment handy by using a scissors clip that hooked onto a belt or apron strings. Any number of items could be attached to it by chain or ribbon. This woman has scissors and a ball for holding pins and needles. Outer Garments
Cape
Women did not wear coats in winter. They wore woolen capes that could be short, as shown here, or long. Hood
If a cape did not have an attached hood, a woman would have a separate one. She would wear it over her cap. Mittens
Mittens were homemade from wool yarn spun and knitted by a female family member.
