Sometimes there is an event or way of thinking that influences fashion dramtically. Nothing could be better said that that of the woman's zouave jacket from the Civil War era.
Zouaves were actually a Moroccan volunteer units in the French army, commonly referred to as the French Foreign Legion. They were considered daredevils and very brave. They caught the attention of America right before the American Civil War broke out and as fashion sometimes does, the idea of the zouave jacket became popular.
The woman's version of the zouave jacket is basically an altered version of the bolero jacket. The pagoda sleeves on this jacket really distinguished it throughout its popularity. It is basically a short fitted jacket worn open and usually seen worn with a complimentary or contrasting skirt and blouse.

I can do a straight waistband in your waist size for an additional $5.00. Please convo me for details.

Woman's Civil War Style Button Blouse
$
57.00
Basic cotton button up shirt made in the style of the Victoian period. This is perfect for a Civil War ladies blouse to pair with a skirt. Great for western wear or cowboy reenactment for you ladies too. Very versatile.
Blouses did not actually come into fashion until the 1890's for most women. But cotton shirts were definately around and worn, especially by the pioneer women. This style is reminiscent of the Garibaldi shirt for women in the 1860's. I have drafted the pattern similar to this stlye shirt but also modernized it a bit so it can be worn in a more modern setting. This is just a fun shirt.
This shirt is made from a washable cotton fabric and comes in white, natural (ivory), or black. It is a basic design and buttons up the front. Shirt has long sleeves with small band cuffs. Neck closes with a mandarin collar which is great to put a decorative pin or brooch with.
Sizes available - S, M, L, XL (Please see size chart in pictures for measurement breakdown).
I always do plus sizes for an additional fabric charge. Please inquire if you are interested in this. Also, this shirt can be made in another cotton color. Please convo me if you would like another color.

Basic cotton skirt in a plaid homespun fabric. This would be a great item to enhance your Civil War living history or reenactment persona. This would also work wonderfully for renaissance wear. Great for an Irish persona.

It is made from 3 1/2 yards of fabric so there is quite a lot of room for a crinoline or hoop.

Would look great paired with a zouave jacket or bolero jacket and a cotton blouse. Please see my seperate listings for these items. Mix and match for some wonderful looks :-)
