The stalwart women who braved the 19th century American prairie wore full yet practical housedresses of washable cotton. This flowing dress was traditionally worn with a practical apron. Our pattern 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.
