hufolk1-5, Exercise 1: A woman's festive costume

Model answer:

Typical parts: a linen blouse (often embroidered), one or more skirts or petticoats and an apron, a bodice or vest, and a headdress or kerchief. Details could show whether she was unmarried or married (headdress and colour), her village or district (pattern and cut), the occasion (festive or mourning) and her household's wealth and skill (quantity and fineness of linen and embroidery). Details vary by region (check).
