Content: They were commonly hand-knitted of wool or linen. Elastic had not been invented yet, so stockings were held up with garters. These garters could be made of ribbon, knitted or leather strips and might tie or buckle on above or below the knee. This woman wears garters made of cloth tape, that tie on. Foundation Garments
Hair
People did not wash their hair as often as we do today. One might not wash their hair all winter long! This is one reason why a woman wore her hair up in a bun and away from her face. Kerchief
For modesty sake, a woman wore a kerchief of silk, linen or cotton. Only for a formal occasion such as a party or ball would she not wear one. Shoes
A common woman would have one or two pairs of shoes.
