This one was rescued from a bin of moldy stained nasty fabric at a garage sale.
It wasn't stained, but the mold monkeys had had their way with it! I am now a believer in the power of bleach! She cleaned up quite nicely with only 2 pinhead rust spots remaining and is bright white. (forgive the yellowish pics, had the camera metered for darks today)
I was struck by the intricacies of the folding and sewing. Each of these little triangles is folded back from what looks like a simple gathering of the fabric. The back side is straight/flat, as if the excess fabric were just pinched from it's length and sewn up.
Eyelet lace at the hem, along with a few small bits of machine ribbon/lace trim, also at the hips.
No tagging or marks, machine sewn, flap over and button at the waistband, about mid calf length on my manni (she's a bit tall, though).
Any ideas what I have here, name and age-wise?
