The Costume Department and the Rockefeller Library, at the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation in Williamsburg, should be able to help you with this one, since they are not located far from Jamestown. They should be able to direct you to good sources for the attire of a typical mid-17th century woman. -----Original Message----- From: Discussion of research and writing about Virginia history [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of [log in to unmask] Sent: Wednesday, November 28, 2007 4:50 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Fw: [JamestownVirginiaSettlers] Women's clothing Am forwardng from another List a query that someone here may know something about.
