1880s Blue Calico Dress
A spectacular and rare, late 1800s blue calico dress from our archives.
This is likely one of the best, if not the best, calico dress of this color and era we have ever come across.
With bishop sleeves, sweet front and back Peter Pan collar, hand stitched button holes, full long skirt, and a plethora of pin tucks— this is a hard one to let go of, but we are not known for hoarding all of the best things for ourselves…. ;)
A very wearable heritage piece that is a no brainer for your collection.
Originally purchased from a collector in California, this piece has been on some adventures around the country.
