| In Vermont in the 1700s, women did not wear underpants. Neither did men. And no kilts involved! In addition, women did not wear bras. … Neither did men. Women wore a gown. Their gown was what we would call a dress, but they called it a gown. Under their gown, they wore a shift and possibly a corset. The shift resembled a cotton nightgown. Women also slept in their shift. During the day, they often wore an apron to protect their gown. Men wore a shirt during the day and slept in the same shirt at night.
