I don't get this vibe, but I guess it's because my interest in lolita is completely about just the clothes and how they look and not the look they give off. Sure the prairie aesthetic is more humble, but the Ingalls didn't really have a hard life at all.

And...isn't romanticizing the farm life all what was en vogue near the end of the 18th century in France? Didn't Marie Antoinette make it stylish to wear simple chemises, she had a farm on her property, she romanticized a "normal" life. That is what I see in the prairie fashion look, it's a rose colored glasses image of a pretty life on a farm, caring for cute animals, drinking fresh milk, collecting flowers all day.

Gunne Sax dresses were expensive, people weren't buying them to roleplay poverty on a farm, they bought them to go to weddings and attend parties, and to take Christmas photos.
