What sort of clothing does Hester normally wear?

In the novel, "The Scarlet Letter," Hester Prynne is usually depicted wearing a coarse, Puritan-style dress with a scarlet uppercase "A" emblazoned on it. The color scarlet is prominent throughout the book as a symbol of her sin and shame, and the letter "A" stands for "adulterer." Her clothing choice reflects the harsh judgment of the Puritan society she lives in and serves as a constant reminder of her transgression.
