The hobo girls were garbed in easy robe with gatherings at the neck over which a chemise robe was worn. A length of material tied at the shoulder ran down the back and across the opposite waist and the front of the body like the toga worn by Romans. A turban enhanced the head.

As time rolled by, the gypsies also started following fashion and wearing the same garb as the neighbors of the hamlet they passed thru.
