What did they do for fun?

Although many children worked in the Victorian times but they still had time to play.Outside,most Victorian children played in the street or fields and woods.Not many families had gardens big enough to play in and there were no children's playgrounds.Rich families had Playgrounds and nurseries, but poorer children played were they could find space.With ten or more children often crammed into one or two rooms, play-space for poor families was a luxury. Playing outside was the usual escape.

What did they wear?

Once of school age they wore suits or short trousers and Jackets with a cap.Sailor suites were also fashionable.Girls wore dresses with a ping over over the top but did not wear crinoline or bustle until they were older.People clothes were made to measure.People did not go to shops like we do and see rails of clothes. Every item of clothing bought had to made especially for the person. Seamstresses tailors were responsible for making clothes. Their were also milliners, grovels, and hatters would help to complete the look.Poor Victorians bought their clothes from second-hand, third and fourth-hand shops. Their clothes had previously been worn and discarded, but still in good enough conditions.
