Abby sits down with Samantha McCarty (again! See Episode 2 for more with Samantha!) to pick her brain about women's fashion and clothing from the first quarter of the 17th century (1600-1625-ish). This is an often over looked time period that Samantha has had time to really study since she works for a historic site that is from the 17th century. Ranging in subjects from what a woman was issued in a new "suit of clothes" before she arrived in Jamestown, Virginia, upper bodies, petticoats vs. kirtles, what the hell a "gown" is - in every sense of the word, and quite a bit on oorijzers (ear irons) - one of Samantha's specialties. So sit back, relax, and get ready to learn about something totally new a different!

Episode 9: Early 17th Century Women's Dress with Samantha McCarty

Abby sits down with Samantha McCarty (http://couturecourtesan.blogspot.com) to discuss her research on mourning dress during the American Civil War. Samantha currently works as a Tailor for the Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation in Virginia, and though she spends most of her time studying and recreating 17th &amp; 18th century dress for interpreters, one of her first passions was researching all things to do with mourning during the American Civil War. Topics discussed: Types of Mourning, What to Wear, Fabrics &amp; Textiles, Jewelry, Society &amp; Custom, and more!
