Clothing

Children's Clothing:

Wealthy children where wigs no matter how expensive it is, but before that they have to shave their head. They also ordered clothes and wigs from England or European cities such as dress shoes, ribbons, hats, gloves, and fans made out of stain or silk.

Women's Clothing:

Wealthy women wear layers of clothes, even in the summer. It is usually silk not polyester. They sometimes wear ankle socks and their good shoes for special occasions.

Men's Clothing: Wealthy men also wore wigs like their children. They wear knee socks and low heel shoes. Also, they wear button down coats with button up shirts and plump pants.
