The Day Blouse and Gathered Skirt outfit in cotton calico has its beginnings as the 1880s Day Dress. We have broken it up into two pieces and expanded the sizes. This is a very good outfit on the frontier or wagon train as well as a victorian day outfit.
The blouse is front opening with mother-of-pearl buttons. The skirt is gathered 3/4 around with a back buttoned opening.
