During the era of the Anglo Saxons, the typical dress which was worn by the women was a long garment which went right up to the armpit. This dress was usually worn above an innerwear with sleeves. The front to the back of this garment was clasped by brooches located as the shoulders which would be fastened.
Regarding a head covering, it is quite unknown to date whether there was one. This dress of the women was designed in such a manner that it could be adjusted according to the height and weight of any women.
Anglo Saxons Children’s clothes
According to the archaeological studies and the studies regarding the analysis of the artefacts, very less information could be retrieved regarding the clothes that were worn by the children of the Anglo Saxons.
What did Anglo-Saxon children wear?
However, with whatever evidence or remnants could be found, the historians believed that the clothing of children was more or less similar or same to that of the adults. The common accessory of the children was found out to be beads.
