Waistcoats could be made in courser woollen fabrics and worn by common Tudor women, or they could be made in finer linens (often with embroidery) and worn by the elite ladies of the late 16th and early 17th centuries. Waistcoats were worn over other garments, frequently over a smock and a kirtle or petticoat.
