Calico
A high waistband, two darts, an unlined bodice, a cloth tape drawstring back neck closure and a cord drawstring at the natural back waistline. This may very possibly indicate early use as a maternity gown. Acquired from the descendants of the early Worley and Wolf families of Lattimore Township in Adams County, Pennsylvania, just north of Gettysburg. Calico Calico (cached…

I was really excited to open this purse and find an item which dated it. It seems that the last time the previous owner cleaned it out they forgot to remove a small Christmas card she had received. The card reads: “A Holiday Remembrance with best wishes for the coming year”. the sender wrote inside the card: “Hi! I Love…

Take a step back to the time of New York’s Studio 54, Blondie, and David Bowie. I imagine the original owner of this gown bought it with great hopes of taking a limo ride to the Big Apple for a once in a lifetime night. Original sales tags indicate the gown came from Rovner’s. This was a store in either…
