(picture taken in front of the Tresler house) This summer women’s costume was worn circa 1875. To go out, the delicately printed calico dress was covered with a cape or collaret. The white cotton cap is adorned with lace. The horizontally-striped drugget apron is considered typical of the Charlevoix region. A brightly embroidered petticoat completes the costume. Men wore a « culotte à pont » and a double-breasted check waistcoat with half-belt in the back. The red shirt was also popular at the time.
