In The Crucible, how did Abigail Williams dress?

The text of this brilliant play gives us no indication as
to how Abigail Williams should be dressed, so we can only infer that she would have been
dressed according to the fashions of her time, which, for women in a Purtain colonial
America, did not leave much opportunity for choice or for self-expression. Women at the
time wore a smple linen smock as an undergarment, several skirts that were referred to
as "petticoats" which were made out of wool or maybe linen, corsets and jacket or a
gown, made out of wool in a drab colour. Interestingly, black was a very expensive dye
at the time and so was not commonly used. Lastly, women would have worn a linen cap and
woolen stockings with leather shoes.

For a good
representation of this, try watching the film The Crucible staring
Winona Ryder as Abigail Williams. Arthur Miller himself helped to direct this
production, and the clothing is accurate of the kind of dress that women would have
worn.
