During the Elizabethan era, sumptuous and vivid materials were worn to the theatre, though costumes did not always match the period of the play. For everyday wear, men typically wore a doublet, stockings or hose, ruff, belt, and breaches. Women usually wore a smock, stockings or hose, farthingale, kirtle, partlet, forepart, and gown, with a ruff. Makeup included dangerous white lead paint to hide aging, as well as plant-based face paints and false hair like wigs. Wedding dresses were usually a woman's best gown or kirtle, sometimes new if affordable, and covered most of the body with a cloak
