Shawls:
Shawls made of a handwoven-appearing cotton or wool fabric in appropriate colors with the ends unraveled and �fringed,� either square or rectangular in shape in natural colors, would be appropriate. Period wool shawls generally measured 60" x 60" (square) or 60" by 120" (double square). Knitted or closely crocheted shawls and/or a triangular shawl are also acceptable. back to top
Capes and Cloaks:
Capes and cloaks were generally made of wool and circular rather than gathered at the neck. Capes and Cloaks appear to have been more of a high fashion garment rather than one worn on an everyday basis; however, given some of our cool evenings, you may want to make or purchase a cloak to chase the chill away while chatting around the campfire of an evening. back to top
Paletots: Paletots are basically wide-sleeved, wide skirted coats which were designed to fit fairly close over the torso, then bell out to prevent crushing the skirt. back to top
