Peasant Dress
Here are two different types of peasant gowns. The Italian Peasant is similar to the noble gown. The main difference is that the peasant gown laces up in the front rather than in the back. The Italian gown is my personal favorite. It's not constricting at the waist and gives you more freedom of movement. I have over 6 italian gowns of my own. My latest was a pink damask with a gray under dress. If you would prefer an underdress to a sewn in panel, please email me at Jubileel@excite.com . It will be a bit more than the regular dresses because you are, essetially getting two dresses. I can also have a simple full skirt without the front opening. The skirt, no matter which style you choose, is a full 4 to 5 yards of fabric. Like all my gowns, the bodice is lined with muslin and lightly boned. I use canvas to stiffen the bodice so only a few bones are needed for shape. This is also gentler on people who aren't use to wearing tight fitting clothing and still great for those of us who are. Using canvas also happens to be more period than most other means of "stiffing" used today.
The other outfit consists of a bodice and two circle skirts. The skirts are both very full with four yards of fabric and are true circle skrits. The bodice in the picture is corduroy and is terribly comfortable. I have a couple of peasant outfits of my own. In fact, this is me wearing one of them in the picture. :-) Go here to buy a peasant outfit
