Shirts and smocks
provide a protective, washable
layer next to the body, keeping sweat and body oils from the finer fabrics of
the outer garments. Men's shirts might be waist- or hip-length, while women's
smocks might reach the knee or calf. Cuffs, collars, and sleeves might be embroidered.
Women typically wear no other undergarments, though men wear linen breeches.
