3dly. To take away all scruples and foreign conjectures (least it might be thought that these sheets might be in former times intended to make them their shrowds when they died), I will here satisfy you and demonstratively prove that these women never had nor cou'd have at any time any such intention, for I find among other their ancient and accustomed laws yt from all antiquity it hath been there agreed upon for a law yt Sunday blankets shall not be taken for Corbes (yt is it shall not be issued amongst the mortuary goods), but yt it shall go to the next child. By this law it appeareth yt from all antiquity neither the better nor the worser sort of these sheets or blankets (we will not differ upon the name) were at any time used or intended to be used for winding- sheets for the better sort, yt is ye Sunday blankets were to be given to the next child; the worser sort for the week day were taken for corbs, yt is to be sold with the other goods of the deceased to pay debts and to be distributed where legacies were given.
I confidently believe the Manks women took up this custom of wearing blankets from the Irish, their old ancestors and near neighbours, who ever did and do wear mantles for warmth, and not from any relative conceit to make them their winding-sheet; and such a custom also in Wales have the poorer sort of women there to wear in winter men's short cloaks for the same reason, but observe this withal concerning these blankets, that they are only worn and used by the female peasantry of the country inhabitants of the Island of Man, for in the towns you shall not see any one woman (poor or rich) yt do wear any at any time; yet myself being there all the winter season, I did not see so much as any one yt did wear them, so likewise in Wales they are the minor and meaner sort of women that wear men's clokes, the better sort never.
Jeffcott in 1890 discussed some of the Manx words for clothing as a possible clue to the development of costume.
18th Century and LaterSome description of the costume of common people has been given by various travellers and historians. Lord Teignmouth writing of 1829 states:
The usual dress of the Manks women consists of a jacket and petticoats. They are very proud of, and cherish their long hair. They are also particularly found of showy colours, and wear much the tartan ; this propensity is occasionally severely rebuked from the pulpit. The cheapness and variety of the tartan form its chief recommendation to the Manks, and not its Scotch origin ; this would operate in an opposite manner. The only individual whom I saw in a full suit of tartan, a man of some property, wore it in defiance of the Manks, with whom he had quarrelled. The men are invariably attired in blue coats or sailors jackets, and blue trousers, a complete naval costume. Their shoes worn on week days are made of skins, sometimes covered with hair, fastened with thongs across the foot, called kerranes. I saw them in the mountains. The common brogues of the Highlands of Scotland are of a very superior substance and texture. The children wear no shoes or stockings ; and even adults, when very neatly clad, dispense with them when walking.
While reading Historical Fiction novels, I'm constantly trying to picture the gorgeous intricate gowns being described and I'm sure I'm not the only HF enthusiast trying to form a picture from the description given; therefore, I decided to put together this post in order to try and get a better idea how fashion has changed through history and also to help me form a better picture in my mind while reading my books. Hope you enjoy this and I hope you learn something as well because I know I sure have!
