Yet another find from "the" estate sale is this wonderful old fashioned dress or costume:
Perfect in red calico, with crocheted lace trim all over:
A nice full skirt:
The sash that is tied around the waist with a bow in the back is a separate piece:
This has a lot of nice details:
If it wasn't too small for me, I swear I would keep it.
I don't know where I would wear it, but I'd think of something.
Even if it was just a Halloween costume.
So wonderfully old-fashioned; it would be the perfect thing for a docent to wear at Columbia State Historic Park, where I used to work :
Nice.
Very nice.

Oh I love it! Simple yet lovely at the same time. Love T
That is just SO beautiful! If I could ever fit into something like this (last time that happened was sometime in the early '80s, so not going to happen again in this lifetime) I would wear it for a wedding or something like that where you have to dress up a bit but not too formally. Heck, I'd find excuses to wear it anywhere lol!
Someone did a really nice job on this dress. It's lovely. Wear it somewhere... it's too pretty to sit in your closet.
