Description
Minoan Wrap Skirt and Blouse 16″ and 18″ Doll Clothes
As seafarers and merchants, the Minoans imported a wide variety of tradegoods from all over the world which led them to develop a very eclectic culture. Nowhere is this more apparent than in their bright and vibrant clothing. While the rest of the ancient world was wearing simple draped robes, the Minoans introduced the world to brightly colored layered skirts with well defined waistlines and blouses with vibrant trims. This wrap skirt and blouse is based on a design found in an ancient Minoan wall mural, and although it is more than 4000 years old, the timeless design is just as stylish today as it was then.
The simple design of this pattern by Thimbles and Acorns makes it an ideal project for beginning seamstresses. Both the skirt and the blouse feature a fashionable uneven hem. The skirt wraps around the waist and ties in the back and the blouse can be worn tucked in the skirt or untucked with a waist tie. Omit skirt layers for a whole new look!
