La Cueillette des Pommes
This set is (hopefully, we’ll see) the first set of a series of 1870s and 1880s inspired clothing sets. It includes a blouse, bustle skirts in 3 lenghts, an accessory apron and some little cloth caps for all ages.

As referenced in the title, this set was inspired by a
Camille Pissarro
painting : La Cueillette des pommes / Applepicking,1886.
————————————— Blouse ————————————
—————————————————————————————
This blouse is tight fitted and has a high collar as was fashionable during most of the 1870′s and 1880′s.
- 73 swatches : 22 solids, 10 floral, 5 plaid, 25 striped & 11 polka dot patterns
————————————— Skirts ————————————
—————————————————————————————
These skirt have a slight bustle shape which would best fit for the natural form era : roughly 1875 - 1883 ; (well actually, the size of the bustle is dependant on the size of the sim’s butt so do with that what you will). Though to be fair, juging from the paintings I went through, the fashion shift wasn’t as visible in work wear for rural folks and manual workers (the painting I took inspiration from is from 1886 after all) given they didn’t go all in with the bustles and skirt lenghts in these situations, so I guess in this context these skirts might work fine for the rest of the 1880′s as well.
I decide to make 3 versions with each a different lenght to have more teen options as well as worker friendly options (as stated above the lenght of manual workers skirts was usually a bit shorter). The short one end mid calf, the medium one is a bit above ankle lenght and the long is a bit below.
- 65 swatches : 22 solids, 23 with two stripes at the bottom & 20 with a pattern “trim” at the bottom
- 3 lenghts : S, M & L
(versions with patterns matching the blouse’s should be coming soon)
————————————— Apron ————————————
