Life in the past was not black and white!  Below is a just small sampling of style and color options available today, reproducing the printed and woven cottons of the 1840s and 1850s.  You will find many of these (or very similar prints) in the historic reproduction quilting cotton section of fabric stores.  White cotton or linen is generally used for undergarments; printed and plaid cottons in a wide range of colors are lovely for pioneer clothing; solid, plaid and some striped lightweight wools are also ideal.  Check the Resources section for links to some good on-line fabric merchants, or print these images to use as a quick reference while shopping locally.
