#1700L24

Cotton starts at $10

Linen starts at $20

18th century pocketPockets: 

#1700L25

$20 per pair

Lucy Locket lost her pocket,
Kitty Fisher found it.

Not a penny was there in it,
Only ribbon round it.

 

 Pockets were separate accessories that tied around the waist and were worn inside or outside the petticoats.  They were often embroidered with floral designs or pastoral scenes.

 

 

Apron: 
#1700L26
starts at $10 

Keep your skirts cleaner longer.  Easy to hand wash and adds an extra dimension to any outfit. 

Working aprons were made from linen, wool, and occasionally cotton.  They were used as towels, potholders, pouches, smocks and a general all-purpose household tool.
Upper class aprons were made from fine linen or lightweight cotton gauze and were just a pretty accessory.

 

 

 

 

 

Pinner Apron:
#1700L26B
Starts at $25

The pinner has a waist tie and a front flap that pins to your bodice.  Great for working over the fire or chopping lots of veggies!

Tucker / Fichu:

#1700L27

Engageantes:
#1700L28
linen, cotton, lace
Start at $10 for single layer

Engageantes can be removed and washed much easier than the entire garment. 

Optional drawstring at the top to help gather it in.
