Sewing and wearing matching mother, daughter clothing can be a treasured experience. Through the ages mothers and daughters spent quality time together lovingly stitching quilts and wearables.

The Prairie dress style is so timeless, a perfect dress to sew up for special family experiences and photo opportunities. Simplicity 9653 prairie dresses, with their feminine lines and ruffle details, are sure to be that favororite addition to any mother and daughter’s wardrobe…and passed down generations to come.
