In colonial Rhode Island, as in most of the colonies, people generally made their own clothing, although some very wealthy families were able to import clothes from Europe. Women and girls wore long dresses, some of which had ruffles; and while Puritans had preferred very conservative colors, there was more variety of colors and styles in the dresses that women wore in Rhode Island, since Roger Williams had broken away from the austere fashion of the Puritans. Many dresses were made of linen, which was a popular fabric. Many women wore a bonnet to cover their head when going out.
The custom for men was to wear white shirts and a dark coat. Their shirts were usually made of linen, or sometimes cotton. Wealthier people had shirts made of silk. Pants tended to be at knee-level-- they were called "breeches." There were no zippers, so coats had buttons on them. Some men from the upper class wore a wig for business or special occasions; it reflected his status in society. As for children, young boys would wear breeches and white shirts too, and long dresses for girls. At this time, there was no style of fun, loose-fitting clothes that children could play in; they tended to be dressed in miniature versions of what their parents wore.
The girls and women wore ankle-length solid color dresses with accessories, such as a bonnet. The men and boys wore button-down solid colored shirts with breeches, and also with accessories, such as a hat.

No, Boston is in Massachusetts, They have a Phenix but no Phoenix, Oregon and Rhode Island both have a Newport. Like Nebraska they have a Lincoln and like California they have a Riverside. You can find a Portsmouth in both New Hampshire and in Rhode Island. Virginia, North Carolina and Rhode Island all have a Smithfield. It is most unlikely that any other State has both a Narragnasett and a Woonsocket.

Colonial Rhode Island's economy was based on farming, forestry and fishing but it developed a major shipbuilding center and was an early leader in the textile industry.
The culture of colonial Rhode Island was more inclusive and welcoming than that of nearby Massachusetts. Although women were still treated as property, Rhode Island was known for its religious diversity and tolerance.
