While most attention is given to the woman’s dowry and its contents, a groom also had a dowry. This pair of men’s pajamas would have been made by a professional tailor. The pajamas were hand sewn and the mauve trim would have been purchased from a store. They would have been worn by the groom on the wedding night.
