<p>[QUOTE="Debora, post: 4403731, member: 1476"]Hard to assess the black jacket from photographs but the separate piece is called a dickey. The blue dress is Edwardian and the fabric looks like sateen but, again, hard to tell from photographs. Given era, the zipper would be an add-on. Is it metal or plastic? The pink dress with the ruffled sleeves is a bit later, 1930s. Would have had a bias-cut under slip in pink. The fabric looks like voile or lawn. Both are modest pieces and appear to be home made. Not sure how much time you want to spend to "rescue" them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Debora[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
