These Welsh-costume dolls are a microcosm of history, in a way. They tell us a lot about what kind of clothes were worn in the past.
In Wales, the common people's clothes were much the same as those of the peasants of England, except that the fabrics they used were those that were locally produced. This costume survived longer in Wales, however; also, because people lived more isolated than today the various localities developed their own variations.
