   The women usually wore a silk dress, mostly a blue shade as this was considered a lucky colour.

   "Marry in blue to him you'll be true.
   Marry in green you're ashamed to be seen.
   Marry in grey you'll live far away.
   Marry in black you're afraid to come back.

   Marry in brown you'll live in the town.

   Marry in pink you're spirit will sink."
