The skirt is of homespun cloth, blue, green, brown, or red, ac- cording to the taste of the wearer or the fashion of the district; in some places it is a tartan plaid.

They tell a story of a certain bride who went to church with thirteen on, and fainted away in consequence. The old women often knit their petticoats; and all the stockings are knitted. The costume used to be completed by sabots, that is, wooden shoes, but these are said to be rapidly going out of fashion.
