Ladies' Dresses

The patterns for our women's clothing come from a variety of sources.  Some are simple in design and others offer a more contemporary look.  We will continue to search for new patterns and bring them to you as we are able.

We understand that fit is especially important in ladies' clothing.  While optional, putting your measurements (bust, waist, hips, height) in the comments area on our checkout page will help us custom fit your garments specifically to your needs. 

Over time, we have found that many of you have special requests or ideas for  alterations.  Your ideas have often helped us come up with new garments and one of the main goals of our business is to custom fit each customer!  If you have a special request such as an extra long skirt, an altered bodice, a ruffle on a hem etc, simply e-mail us your request before ordering.  The "Contact Us" button is just to the left near the bottom of the menu.  Most alterations are quite inexpensive and we are able to honor almost all of them.  Our goal is not to make money on alterations, but to simply cover the cost of extra fabric and the time it takes to change the pattern.  We will e-mail you with a price of $3, $5, $7 or $10.  You can then use the pull down menu below to add the alteration to your shopping cart along with the rest of your order.

Flounce Skirt

A step up from an A-Line skirt, this slimming design has a long flounce attached at the bottom.  This would be a very nice style for teenagers and young women.  Finished length for all sizes is about 33" long. Design licensed from KWIK.SEW Pattern Co., Inc. 

3-Tier Skirt

Our simple 3-tier skirt has a gathered waist and is about 31" long.  It is a great casual and comfortable skirt.  The gathers are quite gentle, keeping this skirt from feeling too big in the lower tiers.  For larger sizes, please see Women's Plus Size page.

Ladies 6-Gore Skirt

Every once in a while, a pattern exceeds all our expectations.  This is a very attractive, flowing skirt that could be worn everyday or for a semi-formal occasion.  You may choose one or two fabrics.  An attached elastic waistband allows you to slip on the skirt but keeps the design slim.  Finished length of skirt is about 34".  Design licensed from KWIK.SEW Pattern Co., Inc.

With eyelet trim

Longer length in C241

Ladies A-Line Skirt

A pull-on, slightly flared skirt in a mid-calf length with elastic waist.  These skirts are a staple in our wardrobe.  Length is between 25" and 28", depending on size.  If you would like a longer skirt, a lengthened version will fall between 32" and 34".  The pictured eyelet trim is optional and adds a nice touch.  Trim is available in white or black.  In addition, we now offer a sewn in lining for those who would normally wear their skirt with a slip.

Ladies Prairie Skirt
A carefree long and flowing skirt. It comes with a large ruffle on the bottom and an elastic waistband. For winter it is very nice in denim or brushed cotton. In summer, choose a light calico. This skirt fits generously so there's no need to size up if your measurement is at the top of a size.  Sewn by license from a pattern by "The King's Daughters".

Ladies Tiered Skirt
Another carefree and fun skirt. Four tiers of fabric are sewn together to make a long and flowing skirt. Elastic waistband. To achieve the best fit, it would be helpful if you would give us your exact waist and hip size when ordering this skirt.  If you enjoy tiered skirts but dislike ironing them, try a Tropical Breeze fabric.  Final length is about 30".  This pattern makes a fairly full skirt.  For a skirt with less fullness, please see the 3 Tier Skirt on this page.

Beach Skirt:
A shorter version of our above tier skirt that we use as a cover-up at the beach or pool. The skirt has 3 tiers and falls just about the knee on women of average height. Approximate length is 23". To achieve the best fit, it would be helpful if you would give us your exact waist and hip size when ordering this skirt.

Rainbow Skirt

Our casual A-line skirt is brightened up with cascading fabric.  Ladies sizes will be even more colorful than the picture shows as the fabric moves from reds into green at the bottom of the skirt (see second picture).  Pull on elastic waist.  One fabric only.  You may request this skirt to be made in the opposite direction, with the bright green at the waist and the blue at the hem.  Please include this request on the checkout page.

No Collar

Long elastic ruffles

Straight sleeves

Ladies Blouse
A simple and pretty blouse to wear with skirts and jumpers. Puffed sleeves come down to cuffs, pleats, elastic drawn ruffles or a simple hem (cuffed and ruffle sleeves shown). Sleeves with a simple hem do not have any gathers at the shoulders.  Short sleeves fall a little above the elbow on most ladies.  This blouse is also very nice without the collar.  Due to many requests, we can now make this blouse with straight sleeves, removing most of the shoulder puffs from the shoulder seam.  Sewn by license from a pattern by "The Kings Daughters".

Matching Girls Item

 Open Vest

Slightly different in style from our Ladies Vest, the Open Vest fits quite loosely and comes without any fastenings. Both front and back bodices are lined. We especially like this vest on warm days.

Prairie Bonnet

An old fashioned but practical way to keep the sun off your face and neck on hot summer days.  Fabric ties fasten under the neck.  Choose any fabric or make a bonnet to go with a new dress.  If you have a very small head, we would recommend the Girl's Size XL which can be found on the Girl's Page.  Sewn by license from a pattern by "The King's Daughters."
