Double Pockets | Hamilton Blue

A pocket is an essential undergarment for 18th-century women, providing a discreet and practical way to carry small personal items. Worn beneath the petticoat and accessed through side slits, pockets were a staple of everyday dress across classes. This double-pocket design offers a convenient alternative to wearing two separate singles, requiring only one set of ties and allowing for quicker dressing with less bulk at the waist. Made from printed cotton and white linen, these pockets are both durable and beautiful for middle to upper-class impressions. Each side is generously sized to hold sewing tools, a handkerchief, a coin purse, or other small necessities.
