Green Linen Peasants
A very respectable peasant's market-day best. This bodice and skirt set is made from olive linen, spiral laced front and back for ease of adjustment. It's comfortable enough to sleep in, and looks very period. This example features hand-sewn eyelets and a box-pleated skirt. It has been paired with a linen caul, apron, and chemise for a complete outfit.
