Prairie girl dress pattern?

[Grayson's Mom]

Can anyone point me in the direction of a pattern for a prairie girl dress? Something old fashion looking? We are having a facination with Little House on the Prairie in our home at the moment.

Bonus points if you can recommend an etsy pattern!

Triple word score if you can find one for free!

Folkwear! Oh, gee, I love Folkwear patterns. I drool over them, lust after them. Vintage stuff. Ethnic things from all over the world. Ahh... (wipes drool from chin)

Here's the child's prairie dress, with pinafore:

Here's the main "Frontier" page, with several different patterns (all adult, I believe):

Not etsy. Certainly not free. But really nice.

Now I have to go traipse through their website. Again.

Another vote for Folkwear. I love their patterns. I've been collecting them for 30 years. I've made shirts for dh and clothes for the girls and me from their patterns, including the child's prairie dress and apron. A nice plus is the historical information that is included in each pattern. And the pattern pieces are tracable to use for years and for the many sizes that come in each pattern.

To answer my own question, my daughter took a week long summer camp/class at our local historical museum. She was loaned a "prairie" outfit to wear for the week. Basically it was just a peasant top with the length brought down to just below her knees. I copied the dress and very easily replicated one.

Here is a peasant blouse pattern... just lengthen it...

I've made "Mary" and "Laura" dresses from this pattern:
