Deerskin trousers were very common and popular in the late 18th century - a couple of costumers have recreated them.<br /><br />Reading this post, I do have a confession to make. I made a bodice very similar to the ones you have posted for an Icelandic outfit for a school event for my little sister. Since then it has (gasp, horror), been worn a few times as a wench outfit to a Renaissance fair. (hangs head in shame).
