This dress was hand sewn in the Appalachian mountains in a North Carolina town called Mills River. We were lucky enough to connect with friends of the original owner and buy her collection of handmade garments. She was an avid seamstress who was active in her community and was making her own clothes from an early age.

The dress has a charming home-made quality to it. Tatted lace along the collar and sleeves, also hand done by her! Pockets on the front are faux. Hook and eye closure at the neckline as well as the side of the torso. Comes with a matching belt too!

Materials: Cotton

Condition: Some light fading, staining, and wear to the fabric.

Estimated modern size: I think this is a tween dress, but could work for a petite XXS. Waist measures 24 in.

Measurements (all measured flat): 
Shoulder: 16 in
Chest: 15.5 in
Waist: 12 in
Length: 32 ini
