    A red spotted mushroom hat, cream blouse, and brown corduroy overalls.

    Pieces: A red spotted mushroom cap hat; A cream puff-sleeve blouse; Brown corduroy overalls; Cream tights; Brown boots.

    Pieces: A soft rust-colored patchwork hat; An ochre plaid shirt; Patched denim overalls; Straw-colored fabric strips for the cuffs; Brown work boots.

    Pieces: A brown herringbone deerstalker cap; A tweed Inverness-style cape; A cream shirt with a dark waistcoat; Brown tweed trousers; Brown brogues.
