Clothing of the time

In the time period, the use of colors were very important. Women wore clothing that covered the whole of their bodies. They believed in modestly and chasteness. Often seen were women who wore long single colored dresses that covered their whole legs and full arms (High, Web). The only part of the dress that might be left to be somewhat seen is the chest and slight cleavage. 

In the picture shown, it is seen that the all women are wearing modest clothing of bright colors of the time. Most have their chest covered although some have that being revealed as well.
