1944-103-2-3 Seersucker Pinafore and Blouse for Molly or Emily

Description

This pinafore dress and blouse are nearly identical to one found in the Sears catalogue in 1941. That one too is made from a narrow striped fabric. The catalogue price for the dress and blouse was $1.00…..imagine that! One of the views pictured in the catalogue shows the pinafore being worn without the blouse, as a sundress. As we were coming out of the depression and heading into the war years, a dress that could be worn in multiple ways would have been a practical purchase.

I chose a bluish green and white striped seersucker for this dress and a white polyester/cotton batiste for the blouse. The blouse features a peter pan collar and full and short sleeves with a pleat and hem at the bottom edges in lieu of the tradition gathering and cuff (just like the one in the catalogue picture). It opens in the back and is secured with Velcro. The pinafore dress has 2 patch pockets on the front of the gathered a-line skirt; squared front neckline; and sash that ties in the back. Please note that the sash is not pre-tied and will require that the owner can tie a bow.

This listing is for a single dress and blouse, however I would be willing to sell the pinafore or blouse individually. If you want either of them without the other please contact me prior to purchasing and I will revise the listing for you. The blouse by itself is $12.05 and the pinafore is $10.85.

Please note the following:
1. Although I made this outfit to fit 18” dolls such as those sold by American Girl, Gotz, Our Generation or Springfield Collection I am not affiliated with those companies.
2. My home is pet free and smoke free.
3. The dolls and shoes/socks in the photos are for display purposes only and are not for sale.
4. All seams that would fray have been serged.
