<p>[QUOTE="bluumz, post: 4403485, member: 649"]Just for the sake of accuracy... what you both show are bodices, not jackets. For many years, women's dresses were not one-piece as they mostly are now. A woman's "dress" was two pieces, a skirt and a bodice (and, of course, petticoat/s). Pity the matching skirts aren't available, they would have offered significant styling clues. I'm leaning toward early 1900s on OP's offering. That said, the majority of my knowledge in vintage fashion is really post-1940s. I'm sure others will come along soon who know way more than me! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
