Name & age for this style of dress/underskirt

Hello!
I feel like I’ve seen this style before, maybe in a Mary Pickford movie. But I can’t really find any examples of something similar. I’m thinking 1910-1918?
It’s a very girlish design, made of cotton gingham and with amazing detail.
-It is 2 pieces, a dress and a muslin skirt, bordered in the dress fabric.
-A square yoke panel that snaps in place.
-An organdy collar that follows the yoke line
-Set in sleeves with piping and applique trim
-Raised waistline
-Skirt Gathered with tiny pleats
-Wide Organdy border on dress’ skirt

All in all, it has 17 embroidered Appliques, including one on each end of the very long sash, which is shown wrapped twice at the waist. It may have another purpose?

*Also, the gingham on the underskirt is a slightly different color or dye lot than the dress. Was it made later?

Thanks for any help on style or design name, and age range!
Thanks, Ronda

 

Hello,

That is a wonderful garment. SO cute! And yes, very "Mary Pickford'! I would place it 1914 -1915.

The bottom skirt was probably not washed as much as the top, so it has retained more of the original color. That's my guess.

 

You gave a good description. Thank you. That bodice construction is so 1910's. Also the tiered skirt.

I was thinking 1910's-20's, so glad I'm not too far off! It is a beautiful dress set, great find!

 

1918 on the nose. I bet she also could have worn just the top part of the dress by itself in 1921/22 when skirts were shorter. Here's a pic of a similar style by Syd Chaplin, Charlie's brother who made dresses under the Sassy Jane Manufacturing Co., and who also supplied dresses to Mary Pickford.

 

Such a wonderful find

 

Oh, my gosh! Wonderful photo, and marvelous info about Syd Chaplin! Thanks so much!

 

Thanks! I appreciate your input!
