A peasant costume is the outfit of the peasant woman of yesteryear, with a long skirt, an embroidered bodice and often a hood or cap. Ladies will find colourful sets with puff sleeves and ruffles here alongside plain long styles, and those who want to dress up a child as a peasant woman can choose from red, burgundy, brown and black versions for girls. Most sets already include the headwear, so you can often get a complete peasant outfit for women and girls in a single order.
Peasant costume for the wedding procession, carnival or a medieval party
- For the peasant wedding, there is a plain black girls' style with a white flat collar, lace trim at the wrists and a white hood that ties under the chin.
- For those who want to take to the streets as a peasant woman during carnival, there is a set with a white top and short puff sleeves, a red or burgundy skirt and a ruffled cap, available for both women and girls.
- For a medieval party, there are long styles with lacing on the bodice, such as a green skirt with a brown border for women and a brown skirt with a wide white apron for girls.
- If you want more colour, there is a women's set with a burgundy bodice, an ochre yellow overskirt, a ruffled collar and wide flared sleeves, with a cream hood included.
How complete is a peasant costume when it arrives?
With most sets, a peasant costume is complete right away, as a hood, cap or hat is already included and sometimes a separate corset as well. Only with the long green medieval version and the red Victorian style do you receive only the dress, and you complete the look with a separate peasant cap. Women's sizes range from S to XXL, although not every style starts at S or ends at XXL. For girls, choose based on height rather than age: the children's sizes range from 110 cm, approximately 5 years, to 158 cm, approximately 13 years.
A smock or outfit for the peasant man alongside the peasant woman
If you are walking in the procession as a couple, a peasant smock over your partner's ordinary trousers will quickly turn them into a peasant man. If he wants to join in from head to toe, choose a peasant costume together that matches your colours.
Buy a peasant costume for yourself or your daughter
A set with a hood included saves you an extra purchase, while a separate style gives you the freedom to choose your own headwear. If you are looking for something understated for the wedding procession, black with white is a good choice, and for carnival, red and burgundy are allowed. Order before 11:59 p.m. and you can wear your peasant outfit tomorrow.
