What did girls wear to school in Shakespeare's time?

Answer 1

Wealthy women dressed really extravagantly, they wore big dresses held out with a farthingale, and stuffed their sleeves so it would appear that they have a skinny waist. They also wore ruffs, sometimes they were open, but mostly they were closed, it looked like their head was on a plate. They also covered themselves in jewels, they put white powder on their faces and used a mineral called cinnabar to make a blush.

Gallants of the time wore a doublet that was slashed to reveal a matching or contrasting shirt underneath. The doublet was padded at the hips because, like the women, they tried to achieve a small waist leg coverings came in 3 different sections: a trunk hose at the top, canions going down to the knee and nether stockings underneath. they also wore jewels and ruffs, some ruffs reached lengths of upto 27cm wide.

Children wore the same thing as other adults and their parents.
