Colonial clothing of contemporary style.
Colonial girls wore long skirts and stockings with a large petticoat. They often wore caps and capes. Also it was very popular to wear a Caraco, a coat that was worn at home or at informal activities. If they didn't wear skirts, they wore long dresses instead.
