Love the quizzes!
The chats on Tudor clothing have been wonderful! I did much better on the men’s clothing quiz than the women’s. Ladies certainly wore an astounding amount of separate pieces and they are quite confusing to remember! I scored 9/10 on this quiz. Looking forward to the chat on Tudor children’s clothing. Thank you, Claire, for your weekly chats!!
