Content: A stomacher was a decorative piece, often of nice fabric, that a woman would pin to the front of her stays to hide them and make her outfit a little fancier. Cap
It was both practical and stylish for a woman to wear a cap. It covered dirty, possibly lice-infested hair and kept it away from the fire. A woman would wear a cap both indoors and out. When outside she might put on another hat over her cap. A "frontage" was one of several styles popular in the late 17th and early 18th centuries. Gown
This style of gown is known as a "mantua". It was very popular from the late 17th century through the first half of the 18th century. It laces up the front. It was worn with the skirts hanging down or hooked up in the back.
