So I'm thinking I'm going to sew up some bib aprons and bought a couple skirts off Ebay. I'm either going to buy or sew a flannel "slip" or petticoat for winter just to try it out and see if it's at all practical.

That said, what do you wear for a TOP??? Like the jumpers I can put a thermal shirt, turtle neck or long sleeved shirt underneath, do you wear any old shirt with a prairie skirt? Or a patchwork skirt?

Sorry if I sound like a dolt. I don't usually put this much effort into what I wear.

i usually 'layer' tops ... a cute t-shirt or blouse with a big sweater floppin' over it ... sometimes a sexy little top with a blue jean or other cute jacket over it. xo

I am a get ready quick girl. I don't like a lot of fuss either, because of that most of my clothes are mix and match. I use the same blouses and t's for my prarie skirts as I do with my jean skirts. Like Frannie, I layer a lot because it makes my wardrobe seem a lot bigger. Also, I follow the rule that I can never wear more than one loose garmet (I like to wear my clothes, not get lost in them).

I mainly wear fitted type t-shirts - so they are flattering with my skirts, or I wear a tank top with a cardigan over that. I recommend a book called Dressing With Dignity - I have always felt better wearing skirts/dresses/jumpers and I was so happy to read something that validated that.

yep....all my shirts are fitted as well....I kinda live by the same thing, only one flowing item on my body at a time.

I just like the girlie feeling I have wearing skirts and dresses. I like my jeans too, but I wear aprons as well :)

Try a peasant-style blouse with a prairie skirt (depends on the style, I guess) or maybe look at the Folkwear pattern site http://www.folkwear.com/frontier.html to get ideas on period clothing for styles of tops, if you want to match the "feeling" of the outfit.

Of course its all personal preference and what feels good to you!
