These pictures illustrate the types dresses that were more plain, practical, and were commonly worn by women of lower to middle economic status. These dresses were most likely made out of cotton, wool, silk, or a blend of any of these. For the most part, they are left untrimmed and undecorated, as the yardage required to trim dresses such as these could get quite costly.
