Similar in design to Nicole's Prairie Dress, we change the sleeves and use sleeves without gathers at the shoulders for a mature look. There are small tucks at the waist and a long, full skirt. The bodice falls just above the waist on most women. You may choose many different options for the neckline, sleeve length and skirt. This dress has classically been made with a pointed collar but you are welcome to change it up. Many of our plain dressing customers choose this dress as their staple style with no collar. While the pattern itself is not historically correct, it has been equally popular among costume designers looking for a plain looking 19th century work dress. Approximate finished length from top of shoulder to hem is 50". It is available in any of our fabrics.
Please use the size chart below to figure out the size you need to order and be sure to give me an accurate bust and waist measurement. Size 1X and 2X will not have any tucks at the waist.
