Description
6" shoulders. 17" overall length. Of a
tiny-patterned checkered design in blue and
cream,the chambray cotton dress has nine-button
front with hand-made button holes,wide rolled
collar with pointed tips,long coat
sleeves,flat-front with slightly flared
sides,dart-shaped back,three double-box
kick-pleats at the back. There are two pockets
which are outlined in cream braid along with the
collar,cuffs,front and kick pleats. The dress
appears to have been constructed as a "seamstress
sample" as the detail of original trim varies from
right and left side,and the three kick pleats each
have a variation of trim ranging from double width
to single width to none; possibly the dress was
offered in degrees of price depending upon trim.
Circa 1880.
