Hello,
    I'm trying to look into the size of the average middle-class woman's 
wardrobe through the centuries.  Finding advice on the trousseau is easier, at 
least after the advent of ladies' magazines but I'm most interested in how many 
dresses a middle class woman would own.  How common was the one dress for every 
day and one for Sunday with a multitude of aprons?  Do women start having more 
dresses after the advent of cheap cotton?  Since the list covers a large span 
of history I'm hoping for answers from many centuries.
                                                                                
                                                             Cassandra
