'Colonial Clothing 1760-1770' (1976) clip Colonial Williamsburg D.D.Teoli Jr. A.C. : D.D.Teoli Jr. A.C. : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive Very interesting clip of a servant getting the lady of the house going in the morning in Colonial America. I never knew what a stomacher was. The lady had cold hands and couldn't tie her stockings up. The slave / servant had to help her. Well, no heat until the servant started a fire and it took time to heat up a room. Fireplaces didn't run all night. And even with the fireplace, heat pockets were spotty. The beds would have bed curtains on them to keep the body heat within the enclosure at night. They would wear night caps to keep their head warm. <><><><> Daniel D.
