Clothes! Clothes! Clothes!

Today we took a look at the clothes people wore during the War of 1812 and some clothes that a girl may have worn during the 1840-1860.

What are your thoughts about clothes and how they are different or similar to the clothes you wore when you were younger or your grandparents wore?  Share and explain your answers.  Would it have been easy to do your daily chores or activities using these clothes? What is your opinion?

  1. Yesterday Class was about how they dress in the 1812. I felt like I would never ever dress like that clothes especially in the summer, but Dorinda told us that they were wearing that clothes all the time.It was hard life for them in 1812, but they were working and they were living together so everyone have to respect them all. All the family need to work hard with few clothes to live.

  3. Yesterday we talked about what the women and the men in the past and what they was wearing. Our lovely teacher brought some old clothes which they were used in the past. It's old fashion but my classmates and I felt interested about the clothes. Also, our teacher made those pretty clothes.

    I like the cap which i wore in the picture above the comments.
    There is some clothes cost too much money. I surprised because of that they have just tow things to wear. I am in love with the history of northwest Ohio.

  4. In Thursday class we discussed about the clothes people wore during the War of 1812 and some clothes that a girl would have worn during the 1840-1860. I was really amazed about some of the information and many things I saw I really liked. What I really was amazed about how the people could ware heavy clothes in the summer! I really can't imagine that I would wear heavy clothes in the summer! Just thinking about it makes me felt so hot.

  5. Last week, we learned about the clothes in the United States during the war of 1812 and during the 1840-1860. There were many kinds of clothes, but actually I could not distinguish several kinds of clothes. When I touched the clothes, some were heavy and the others were not. I thought some clothes were unuseful because those were so long and heavy. The clothes were very different from Korean traditional clothes, so it was interesting.

    1. So Edward,
      Could you please explain what Korean traditional dress is like.

      Delete
    2. I disagree with Edward, all the clothes were heavy. The only thing that wasn't heavy was the hat.

    3. "those were so long and heavy" I thing it was so long so it can protect them from insects like misquotes.

  6. Last week I learned some names of the materials that used for clothes during 1840-1860. Teacher Dorinda showed us some of clothes. They were so thick and heavy. They also were hard to made. The colors of the clothes were beautiful. I really enjoyed seeing them.

  7. Last Tuesday, we talked about about the clothes people during the War of 1812 and 1840-1860. It was so old design. I surprised when Dorinda told us there people just have 2 clothes for all seasons in 1812, one of them for work and another for school.
