TURN OF THE CENTURY FASHIONS 1918-1930’s

Pretty in pink: these dresses were machine sewn by Pound descendants: Georgia, Mittie, or Marguerite. The black and white decorative top-stitching was all done by hand. The dropped waist dress style was popular throughout the 1920s and '30s.

The armoire contains a white, full length, night gown with a high neck and ruffle front. The toddler's blue dress was most likely worn by Marguerite's two girls in the mid 1920s. The pink overall shorts and blue corduroy cap are on loan. They date to around 1918. On display through June.
