Information (Click for more details): Mesh Recolour

These dresses were done by request. Although there are many incredible historical clothing collections available, I did these because I like to have variety and because I wanted more clothes that looked like someone would garden or cook or clean in them. Most of what I had were either too fancy or too much like rags. I wanted more everyday type clothes for that looked like they might be worn by people who didn't have servants, but who weren't destitute.

These are based on an incredible mesh by Besen . This mesh is included in the zips.
They should work with all versions of the game.

Set I: Includes the solid green, blue gingham, and red print dresses all with aprons.

Set II: Includes: the pink, blue and yellow sprigged calico dresses, also with aprons.

You can find more of my prairie dresses in solid colors (without aprons)that can be used for everyday and formal here

Thanks for looking and enjoy!

Still, I wanted you to know I appreciate the time you took to create such great, authentic-looking detail. It's not easy to find clothing for the "Old West" look, as most of the Victorian-era clothing that would work in that period just aren't right for the rugged American frontier of the 1800's. I'd love to find some authentic American Indian outfits from that period, too. Care to try your hand at that? Hint hint...

StarStuff, LOL, American Indian outfits huh? I'll have to think about that one. I'll definitely put it on the list (It's a long list though ). Matildarose, I'm glad you noticed the details, they're the kinds of things you do and wonder if they make any difference at all Thanks.

kalynn06 Original Poster Field Researcher Join Date: Apr 2005 Posts: 376 Thanks: 31144 in 36 Posts View My Journal	flamingo, sunken-woglinde and kawaiimiyyo, Thank you for your kind words . jubelbelly and Frzr, Thanks and Ack you asked the question I knew was coming . Yes I can do them (or a close approximation) for teens. I'll need to figure out the closest mesh, but look for those very soon. As for little girls it's on the list, because I never have enough historical little girl clothes, but those are going to be whole new dresses and so won't be out as quickly as the teens. Kalynn

Elfo_Blanco Test Subject Join Date: Apr 2006 Posts: 20	Hi there!!! I'm AMAZED of this beautiful work. I'm obsessed with the idea of making a prairie neighbourhood since I discovered Hexameter's carriages hahaha! I already have every piece of clothing my friend Judie made in ALL ABOUT STYLE, but I WANTED MORE hahaha. You've done a fantastic work!!! I LOVE the colors, the textures and the aprons!! That's a very nice mesh too (we all love Besen's.) Since you take requests sometimes... Would you make more costumes for pairie Sims :-) Thanks a lot!!!

Pendu Test Subject Join Date: Dec 2005 Posts: 22	I've been using these dresses for a while now, and I never get tired of them. The colors, the textures! Thank you a lot! I saw requests for children and teen versions, but I'm really dying for an elder version of these. If been looking all over the place, but there's really nothing like it. How long is that request list again? No hurry though, I'll just keep my ladies from aging for now...
