Everything about Prairie Skirt totally explained
A
prairie skirt is an
American style of
skirt, an article of women's and girls
clothing.
Prairie skirts are slightly flared to very full, with one or more
flounces (deep
ruffles) or
tiers, and are often worn over a ruffled
eyelet or
lace-trimmed
petticoat. They were introduced to fashion by
Ralph Lauren in his fall
1978 Western-themed collection.
Prairie skirts are so-called after their resemblance to the home-sewn skirts worn by pioneer women in the mid-
nineteenth century, which in turn are a simplified version of the flared, ruffled skirts characteristic of high-fashion dresses of the
1820s.
In keeping with their design inspiration, traditional prairie skirts are usually made of "country" fabrics such as
denim and flowered
calico. Prairie skirts are a staple of women's
western wear, and very full prairie skirts are worn for
square dancing.
Mid-calf length, button-front denim prairie skirts with a single flounce, worn with a petticoat that was slightly longer than the skirt, became a mainstream
fashion in the
1970s and early
'80s following Lauren's introduction.
Short, many-tiered prairie skirts of
voile,
chiffon or other lightweight fabrics were a fashion trend in
2005.
