Le Poulet Gauche, a French reenactor site, has a page on lower class women's and one on lower class men's costume; here's the woman's page. You can also find this from Drea Leed's site: http://www.lepg.org/women.htm Jen Thompson's page on 16th c. lower class costume is good too, and the link from Drea's page to it is obsolete.
