Well, they were in use in the 16th century, I can't remember the
exact reference off the top of my head but there is a court mention
of Anne Boleyn using pockets but it is the only one I know of, of
women in England using them that early. Might have been part of her
trial? Sorry, my memory is going.

Hi
When did the tie on pockets come into use? i know they are 18th
century, but am drawing a blank on how early they where worn. Or
perhaps the question should be when did the pouch get replaced by the
pair of pockets, worn under the 'dress'?
Thanks
Carol
