American Pastoral: The Little House on the Prairie Edit

Prove your commitment to the bit (in this case, the aesthetic) with this too-adorable bonnet. Tie it snugly under your chin and let people wonder: Are you en route to a Little House on the Prairie convention? Were you just cast in the reboot? Inspired by the "pleasing symmetry of a wheat sheaf," it features ribbed trims, a shaped neck tie, and just the right amount of attention seeking.

The Faith midi dress is what happens when prairiecore grows up—red and white gingham, full skirt, and just unstructured enough to avoid full-on milkmaid cosplay. The spaghetti straps pair well with a crisp white button-down or opt to wear it solo in the heat of July, barefoot in the grass.

This one is for the vest girls, the patchwork girls, the ones who ignore Coco Chanel's "take one thing off" advice and believe in the opposite: add one more thing. The Ingalls were reducing and reusing before it was trendy, and they’d approve of this reversible number that is crafted from scraps and remnant fabric. Throw this vest over your diaphanous nightgown when you need to run to the bodega (sorry, general store) for a late-night snack, or layer it for that effortless “Oh, this old thing?” effect.

There are electric kettles, and then there’s this electric kettle—a Laura Ashley fever dream in the form of stainless steel and nostalgia. Wrapped in a perfectly prim white-and-blue toile print and outfitted with an analog clock (because waiting for water to boil should feel a little more picturesque) it’s easy to imagine you’re making tea for your sisters in a log cabin or lacing up your skates after the first big freeze. Even if you're just trying to caffeinate before your first Zoom of the day, this kettle makes the whole thing feel more poetic.

This is not your grandma’s apron—though she would respect it. The delicate floral embroidery and lace trim feels rustic and lived-in. It’s designed for getting covered in flour while you knead biscuit dough or stir something slow-cooked and sentimental. Untying it is the cue to transitioning seamlessly from rustic kitchen muse to domestic hostess queen (bonus points if the meal is served by candlelight).

Yes, you’re considering paying $210 for a single-function basket—and that function is to pick flowers. Could pluck for free with your bare hands? Technically yes. But would it be as idyllic as strolling over a sun-drenched hill with this handcrafted masterpiece looped over your arm? Absolutely not. Made by Amish basket weavers in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, it’s woven from seagrass rope, wood, willow, and reed.

Footwear is the hardest part of the peasant dress equation. Ballet flats feel anachronistic, same with chunky modern booties. This buckle boot is the perfect middle ground between historical accuracy and contemporary edge. With glossy patent leather, bold buckles, and just the right amount of Puritan-meets-fashion-girl energy, they make your prairie-inspired fits feel intentional rather than costume-adjacent.

Every girl needs a pair of bloomers-cum-shorts in her wardrobe. These bubble-style beauties give you all the volume and freedom you need for picking wild berries or frolicking in the fields (or doing laundry by hand in a stream).

Say hello to the cynic-friendly, modern prairie dress. This Stella Nova design channels the nostalgic charm of a high scalloped collar (and cuffs, for that matter) but appliqué details bring it into the 21st century. Think: a gin bottle, a lobster, and literal cash money. If you suspect that the reboot may be a cash grab, but still want to participate in the spectacle of it all–this dress is for you.
