<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bookahtoo, post: 9557310, member: 31&quot;]I&#039;ve had this old handmade cotton sash for at least 10 years. I got it&nbsp; during a house clean out in Central MA.&nbsp; I&#039;ve kept it in a drawer all these years because it&#039;s so filthy and&nbsp; I&#039;ve been too embarrassed&nbsp; to show it to anyone. Yet I&#039;ve kept it, because it looks like it might have an interesting history.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s made of 3 3/4&quot; wide white cotton fabric over some stiffened heavier fabric. It has a 3 1/4&quot; wide hand made rosette on the center front. The rosette&nbsp; has a white fabric metal covered button in&nbsp; the middle. It is held together in the back by two strips of woven brown elastic. It is about 24&quot; all around.</p><p>There are two thin shreds of red fabric sewn onto the top front, which look like they&nbsp; were the beginning or end of some other feature.</p><p><br /></p><p>It looks to me like a belt for a costume or uniform possibly to be worn in a parade. I&#039;m thinking for a dress or skirt.</p><p><br /></p><p>Any ideas?</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]456502[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]456503[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]456504[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]456505[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
