Doublets and Coats

These are generally worn to keep warm. Women can have doublets of any style, like the men, obviously you don't need point holes for hoes in the skirts but otherwise they are the same. Women's coats also exist, though a warm overĀ­dress would be my first suggestion, followed by a livery coat in the groups colours. If, however, you are already wearing two dresses and you're still cold; women's coats follow the same lines as men's though they are normally full length.
