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!

I have many other interesting items up for sale, many to benefit this wonderful employee fund. I will be happy to combine items if you buy more than one item.  Payment must be received within 1 day of the sale.  I will ship within 1 business day of notification of confirmed payment.  Please feel free to e-mail me with any questions and let me know if you want to see more detailed pictures.  Only SERIOUS BUYERS please, read my description and ask your questions before you buy!  There will be no refunds or returns accepted unless there has been a gross misrepresentation in my description.  Thanks for looking!
