This item is being sold for the employee holiday fund at the continuing
care retirement community (CCRC) in Maine where I live with my
husband. All items are donated by the residents of the community and
the net proceeds of all sales go to the fund that is distributed annually to
the wonderful employees who help the many elderly residents here. I
will give all the information I can about each item, but I am not the original
owner.
I have here an Antique Vintage Girls Cotton & Lace Eyelet Sheer Dress Slip Undergarment 30” Handmade? I do not
know who donated this so I don’t know it’s history or age but I assume it
belonged to one of our older (or former) residents when they were young so it
is probably from the early to mid 1900s (1930s or 1940s perhaps?). I am not sure if it is a dress or meant to be
worn underneath something else. It is
made of fairly thin off white (was probably white at one point) cotton with
lace at the Peter Pan Collar, short sleeves and lower portion of the
dress. I would say it is handmade but
can’t say for sure.
As I said, it has yellowed
with age (although a bath in Oxi-Clean would probably work wonders!) and there
are some darker yellow stains – SEE PICS!!
It measures roughly 30” long – from top of shoulder to hem. The waist is about 22” and across the back at
the shoulders it’s about 12.5”. There
are two loops at the waist (one on each side) which tells me there was some of
belt at one point which is NOT included.
There are tears in fabric on the back of the skirt portion (I see 4 3-corner tears in the back), again SEE
PICS!! It has a 4 button (white,
mother-of-pearl like) closure at the top of the back with a metal snap at the back
of the waist.
You really
need to SEE THE PICS to see what it truly looks like – it’s OLD and not in
great condition but it is was sweet and dainty!
