The Amelia blouse is a classic of the pioneer period. 

Self fabric ruffles up the front, over the shoulder and adorning the neck made this a fancy frock. 

Without access to the fine laces and trims on the bustling eastern seaboard, pioneer women made do with what they had.

Long sleeves end at the wrist in a button cuff.  Blouse buttons up the paneled front.

Historically accurate.

Ladies Pinafore

Originally, ladies wore aprons and then pinned a large cloth napkin to the front of their dress or blouse,

tucking it into the waistband - "pin to the fore"'

The need for this full coverage led to making a one piece garment.
