Short Sleeve Peasant Gown

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.
