    Description

    This was my father's who was born in 1908 to an Irish family in Kansas.  It's entirely possible this was a hand me down from Ireland.   I'm guessing it's cotton but possibly linen.  Lace on sleeves, bodice, neck and above hem.  There are 3 tiny buttons to close on the back. There appears to have been a few tucks to either make it fit better or to hide stains or issues.  One in particular you can see black ink spots underneath the tuck.  I did put this through a delicate cycle and it came out great.  I have this as a first class mailing.  I would suggest Priority Mail box would be safer but buyers decision as it's likely an additional .  Email with questions.
