The first westward migrations occurred as representatives of the Thirteen Colonies sought to open up new lands for their respective colonies westward. These early Pioneers traveled in wagon trains, groups of wagons containing settlers and their families. They banded together for the common defense and to combine their efforts. As the settlers moved west, the general dress styles popular in the rest of the country carried over into the wardrobes of pioneer women, namely tight bodices and very full skirts. However, notable alterations were made to accommodate the realities of frontier living. Skirts were hemmed three inches shorter for day-to-day dresses, making it easier to move from task to task. It was possible that they would have also had weights sewn into the hem to prevent improper exposure on a windy day and worn longer pantaloons to prevent any further exposure. This children's early prairie girl dress consists of a Detailed Eyelet Lace Trimmed One Piece Dress with an attached Bib Front Apron, pantaloons, and contrasting bonnet
