Bedgown
Bedgown is dark blue and red striped wool with cellulosic lining to bodice and silk cuffs
Women in rural Wales wore costumes like this one on a daily basis, not just for special occasions. Different areas had their own styles and patterns. The image of the traditional Welsh lady in a red cloak and tall black hat evolved from the clothing worn by these rural women.
