Dear Friends,
This dress is one of my most unique. It is handmade (no tags) and the material appears to be fabric from a sugar sack...well a sack of some kind-- I just guessed sugar as the print is all scenes from and names of islands in the Caribbean. It has elbow length sleeves a knee length hem. I definitely would guess this was made and worn somewhere in the south during the great depression.
It is a small piece of history. I'd love to know it's full story.
Thanks for reading friends!
Sincerely,
Nora Jane
This is very cool and interesting. I've read many fictional stories set during the Great Depression, and making/wearing dresses from sacks (feed, sugar) was very popular then to save money on clothes. I think you're on the right track, and I too now would love to know this dress's history! :)
