Yes, generally long johns, and worn in colder weather. Men wore long shirts made of cotton that were tucked into their pants. Women wore an under dress called a shift, made of woven cotton over which was often worn a corset like garment with wood or whalebone stays, and hoops or panniers that tied around the waist to exaggerate the hips and one or more petticoats. Both wore some form of cotton underpants and stockings.
