Description

Our Outlander ensemble is inspired by Claire s everyday dresses but it would be equally appropriate fashion for a Highland lassie of 10 to 13. (While young girls–and boys–wore nothing but a cotton shift, older girls dressed like little adults–often in made-over versions of their mothers cast-off clothing!)
This PDF sewing pattern includes four pieces:
Peplum Bodice has a basque waist and laces up the front with ribbon threaded through eyelets;
Tartan Petticoat is pleated to a fitted waistband with side openings and drawstring ribbon ties;
Stomacher fills in the bodice front opening and is held in place by the lacings;
Bum Roll is worn under the bodice and petticoat for an authentic period silhouette.

A bonus knitting pattern is also included for the Sassenach Cowl.
