<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mls4dc, post: 4409852, member: 20776&quot;]Hello Antiquers!</p><p><br /></p><p>I was wondering if someone might be able to help me identify the period of these lovely pieces. They were sewn on a sewing machine but home made. </p><p><br /></p><p>The purple blouse is a modern size medium with mother of pearl shell buttons on the cuff and on the front closure. The top has a mandarin collar and shoulder pads under the top gathered sleeves. It&#039;s made of medium weight cotton. </p><p><br /></p><p>The skirt is heavy cotton with a raised textured pattern alone the dark green with a drawstring in the back. It has pockets and goes to around mid-calf when worn at the waist. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]374289[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>This was found in France for reference. </p><p><br /></p><p>The blouse looks newer to me than the skirt with the shoulder pads and collar. The skirt has pockets but I thought chatelaine&#039;s were common in the early 20th century so I was wondering if it&#039;s a theater costume? The seller seemed to think they were made around the same time. </p><p><br /></p><p>Any help would be much appreciated! Thank you. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
