<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bakersgma, post: 160371, member: 59&quot;]I should probably modify that last sentence. Yes, their dress was expected to be &quot;plain&quot; and without ostentation. Dark colors were common and necklines high on women. I have a lot of Quaker ancestors, but only a very few pictures of those who continued their membership after about 1850. They don&#039;t look very different from other ancestors who were not Friends, so I take that to mean that the rules were starting to be relaxed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
