Description
Peasant blouses and skirts are great for versatility, but there is nothing so elegant as a well shaped, well fitting, richly colored peasant dress. Ruched with elastic from the underbust to just above the hips, you can wear it all by itself, and with a corset there is no bulk at all. Add a contrasting skirt on top like we did, and you’ve got an outfit, change the corset, change the skirt, and a whole new outfit! Tight weave rayon gauze, ties at the bust, elastic at the sleeve and flounces down the skirt for plenty of fullness.
Petite/Small (label says M) bust fits up to 38″, waist stretches from 20-30″, 18″ armhole. And yes, if you’re a medium, you can choose this if you are slim with average bust, but for more bust or more forgiving waist, go up a size.
O/S (one size fits most) bust up to 44″, waist stretches from 22″ to 34″.
Plus (label says 3x) bust fits from 38-52″, waist stretches from 26-46″.
Bountiful (label says 5x) bust fits from 55-64″, waist stretches from 31-5 0″, 25″ armhole.
To store: Try not to hang by neck elastic. Rather, fold in half and clip to skirt hanger.
55″ from shoulder to hem.
Group Shot left to right: Black, Emerald, Plum, Royal, Teal, White, Wine, Purple, Red.

I bought this dress in black and love it so much that I am going to get the red one too. I like that I don’t have to wear a slip under it unless I want to.

I am quite impressed with Dress Like A Pirate.com — from their product selection, quality, pricing, and rapid response. I received my Short Sleeve Peasant Gown in OS white and am very pleased with my purchase. Excellent quality, well-made, and fabric is wonderful! No photos yet, but will share after the Ren Fest.

Adore this dress! Have all the colors. Its a wonderful dress to wear every day in the heat of Texas. Want more colors? The white dress takes dye very well. I now have a kaleidoscopic of colors.
