Folkwear 201 Prairie Dress and Keyhole Pocket Apron Pattern 80s Size Small Medium Large

Description

Prairie Dress and Apron: The stalwart women who conquered the American prairie in the lattern nineteenth century wore full yet practical housedresses of washable cotton, usually with an apron. Our Prairie Dress falls to the ankles in voluminous gathers from a gracefully rounded yoke. It has long sleeves gathered at the shoulders and into buttoned cuffs. The ruffled collar is set into a collar band, and the dress has pockets set into both side seams. The deep front opening typical of this era closes with buttons in the yoke; hooks and eyes can be used to fasten the long opening. The flounced Apron has two keyhole pockets and a waistband that buttons in back. Instructions for decorative feather stitch are included. For contemporary wear, this dress is charming in the authentic version, loose or aproned, or it can be cut to street length. If you prefer, the front opening can be shortened and the neck can be finished with the collar band only.
