Clothing worn by Irish immigrants in the 1850s reflected the poverty caused by the potato famine. The men wore knee britches, linen shirts, wool socks, and heavy shoes. Women wore a long linen undergarment covered by a dress or a wool skirt and a bodice. They often wore aprons and headscarves as well.
