RARE 1830’S CHILD’S CALICO DRESS W ORIGINAL SCALLOPED LEG CUFFS A VERY RARE FIND FROM A PRIVATE AREA ESTATE
DATING TO THE 1830’S, HARD ENOUGH TO FIND THESE CHILD’S DRESSES, I HAVE ONLY EVER SEEN THIS STYLE IN PAINTINGS AND DRAWINGS, NEVER IN REAL LIFE
FASHIONED OF A FLORAL CALICO COTTON
HEAVY PLEATING ATOP THE ARM WITH BANDS OF PIPED TRIM ATOP EACH
COLLAR IN SCALLOPED FASHION AROUND THE NECKLINE
BELTING IS PIPED AT BOTH TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES
SKIRTING IN A FLAT BASTED PLEAT GATHERING TWO INCHES OF THE FABRIC LENGTH UP
THE BOTTOM SKIRTING IN MATCHING SCALLOPS
LEG CUFFS TIE AT THE TOP, BOTTOMS IN MATCHING SCALLOPS
THE DRESS IS HAND SEWN FULLY, BUT I AM NOT CERTAIN WHAT SOMEONE WAS TRYING TO DO…THE SLEEVE INSEAMS ARE ALMOST FULLY OPEN AND THERE IS A TRACE OF MACHINE STITCHES ON EACH WITH A MACHINE STITCH ON THE INNER BODICE. I WOULD REMOVE THE MACHINE STITCHES AND RECLOSE THE SLEEVE SEAMS BY HAND AS THEY WERE ORIGINALLY DONE
SMALL FADE SEEN TO THE COLLAR AND CUFF EDGES, NOTHING SEVERE, THE TOP HAS MORE OF A GENERAL, NOTED, FADE TO IT THAN THE BOTTOM SKIRTING. THERE IS A SMALL SPLIT ON THE REAR BELTING AS PICTURED, I WOULD NEATLY HAND STITCH AS WELL
