For these jobs, women from Carreço used an inner skirt made of tow or coarse white cloth, ending with a small bar of plain or square stripes. With this outfit, they also wore a Chita blouse (traditional Portuguese cotton fabric) and a straw hat. The striped apron was only used on the way to the beach or back home.
