Women’s Little House on the Prairie Costumes

While most of the Little House on the Prairie style costumes are for girls, there are great options for women too.  And some aren’t the traditional dress/bonnet/apron combo, but more in line with dresses Laura and her sisters would have worn to school, to church and places other than just working around the house or being out on the farm.

Traditional Pioneer dresses

For women, there are some great options in different styles.

This dress is available in six different colors with the dress and bonnet, with the option to choose with or without the apron.
