We make all of our girls dresses from 100% cotton calico. "Calico" simply means that the
cotton has been dyed with a multicolored design. It is because it was so colorful, it was the most widely used fabric
on the prairie. Remember, the basic style of the prairie dress was loosely fitted. Children had extremely
limited wardrobes and the dress they wore to school was the same dress they wore after school to do their chores on the farm.
