This is an example of the type of costuming that would have been used in the time period of 16th Century Europe. Here in this photo is a nobleman and a wealthy upper class woman walking arm in arm. As you can see, the clothes were very luxurious and detailed.
The clothes of the servants and maids would be much different. These characters are considered lower class and therefore would be in costumes that were less luxurious and more geared towards doing manual labor. The photo below is a picture of the fashion of doctors and servants during this time period.
Below is a picture from a production of "Twelfth Night" from The Seattle Shakespeare Compnay in 2009, directed by Stephanie Shine. The two characters photographed below are the fool Feste on the left and the "guitar-wielding" gentlemen Curio on the right. This production was not your typical production of 'Twelfth Night', "setting the piece in Dickens’s London, with Victorian costumes."
