Melissa, It would be nice if the description in the old catalogs was still in the new ones. [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]

yeah, I agree. I also think they were written nicer and made things more like a mini story or history lesson, but it was cute.
Here are Catherine Carey Logan's under garment (She was kind enough to let me take a picture). This is a Dear America doll, and Catherine Carey Logan is supposed to be from 1763.
The 'Pants' are connected with the shift. Dear America dolls have such detail.

Nope! No underwear in Colonial times!
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Thanks for this! I knew about the undergarment issue but was always wondering how women got on.Quote:
When underwear were necessary for a woman (if you catch my drift) she wore a kind of belt with full length pants under it.
I think that's what the undershift takes the place of.
