Tracing the Threads of History and Fantasy

Sometimes, a simple and quiet life beckons you.  The Homesteader gown by Grasshopper Street is for those times. Designed as a practical workdress, it comes in both plain and patterned calicos (eight of each), with a contrasting yoke and skirt ruffle and a belt that keeps it neatly cinched at the waist.

The included apron is just as thoughtfully done—a pocketed bib apron that attaches with simple metal pins, available in matching calicos with four mix-and-match sections. The bib can be removed for a half-apron look, making it easy to adapt depending on the task at hand.

Paired with a bonnet and a basket of freshly gathered herbs, it’s easy to imagine the rhythm of daily life drawing water, tending a garden, or preparing remedies at day’s end.  The basket of herbs, and the farmhouse build as a whole, are older but very authentic-feeling releases from Del-ka Aedilis.

The outfit includes both PBR and legacy materials and is fitted for a wide range of bodies. It is available exclusively at The Engine Room (March 20 – April 20) at a 25% discount.
