Blundells' Cottage – Clothing

Blundells’ Cottage – Clothing

The people in this photo are dressed in costumes similar to those worn by the families who lived on the Duntroon Estate in the early 1900s.  Notice the long dresses, petticoats and hats or bonnets.  Do these clothes look like yours? How are they the same? How are they different?

What would their clothing have been made from? Did it come from a shop?  Do you own any clothes that have been made for you?
