The clothes of pilgrims and Wampanoag

We are going to talk about the clothes of the pilgrims and Wampanoag.

The pilgrims women wore a garter because she tie up the stocking with the garter and they wore a petticoat.
After these clothing they wore another petticoat, a shirt-jacket and a coif.
The pilgrims men wore more clothes than the women. The pilgrims men wore breeches and also wore garters and stocking.


The clothes of the wampanoag were much less modest than the pilgrims. Both men and women wore jewelry, clothings were hand-painted. Men wore only a loincloth of soft  deerskin, and went barefoot.
