It seems to imply a "two to three other pairs of clothes and a designated sunday best" sort of clothing standard for most due to the expense. Apparently according to some sources more covering undergarments of sorts including shiffs were worn to protect the outer outfit from skin oils and changed more daily, and also more easily washable. Since washing was also far more labor intensive.
