This lovely piece sold a couple weeks ago, but i still wanted to share it! It's not often you find clothing that's over100 years old in such good condition... and it's definitely not often you find the original advertisement!

I was sure that this wasn't military issue, due to the label, but my suspicion was confirmed when I saw this "Miss Saratoga" clothing ad from the early 20s, talking about the "middy" suits and blouses.

From the ad: "What Finer Gift. Girls at school and girls at home all need middies. And with numerous models to choose from, it is easy to find a Miss Saratoga Middy blouse or Middy suit as a gift for a girl of any age -- even for little folks only 6 years old. Miss Saratoga Middy blouses, Middy suits, Blooomers, and little girls' Middy dresses are individual and fabric and make. In poplin, (serge?) flannel, beach cloth, jean, real Irish linen, etc. Trim fitting hips; rolled collars; real naval sleeves. Ask your favorite store or write Dept. A for style plates."

I'll be CLOSED tomorrow. My dad's basement took on some water and it's a mess. I'm going to spend the rest of today cleaning out what I can and salvaging his antiques and my vintage (cuz there's vintage there, too).

My dad had a stroke about 5 years ago that ended his career as a master mechanic and has made life... challenging. He's partially paralyzed, loses his balance and often requires help with doing simple things we take for granted. I'm hoping I can get this cleaned up a little and be back in the shop Weds. I'll keep you all posted.

For sale! Comment below to CLAIM before this hits the Etsy shop: 1950s purple cotton swing dress, $150 + ship.

I want to talk, for a moment, about the construction of this dress. The woman that owned this, Bonita, made a lot of her own clothing, including this dress. Look at how PERFECT the gathers around the waist are...! And sewn with a piped edge on top of it? that's some skill.

Dress measurements:
38" bust
27" waist
Free hips
16" shoulder to waist
43.5" shoulder to hem

Excellent condition. Fabric is a cotton blend with some rayon and i'm guessing Dacron polyester. I wouldn't recommend ironing it.
