Traditional Acadian Dress
Upon leaving France, Acadians brought with them the dress peculiar to their provinces of origin. Their first costume was therefore similar to that of the peasants from Poitou or neighbouring regions.The women wore wooden clog shoes, like those worn in France. They also wore hand-knit wool stockings, a long striped skirt made of wool, and a white shirt under a black bodice that laced in front. They wore a scarf over their shoulders, tied in the front, and simple white hats.
