A common misconception that is perpetuated about history is that people made their own clothes. All the time. For all of history. However, this simply isn't true. Just like today, there are only so many hours in a day, and there is always so much to do, to just *function* throughout your day. So, today, I want to walk you all through how people actually bought their clothes in the 18th and early 19th centuries, with a lot of explanation about the three main clothing trades: Tailors, Milliners, and Mantua-makers.
So, now, people didn't make their own clothes back then. During the 18th & most of the 19th centuries, people paid skilled professionals to cut, fit, and sew custom clothes for them. If they couldn't have new clothes made, they would have old clothes remade. In some parts of Great Britain and during some time periods, second-hand clothing was an option too (but I don't talk about that here, btw) ((it also wasn't a thing the Colonies -- too much money & too much pride)). 😂
