Comment on What I Didn’t Buy – 1940s Cowboy Print Skirt and Blouse by Pallas

My grandmother and mother always removed buttons from clothing that wasn’t going to worn any longer, and usually going to the “rag bag”, This will often times leave the gaping holes where the buttons were once attached. (Most everyone who finds old button jars will see the bits of fabric still attached to the buttons.)
Someone like me might come along and buy this for the fabric.

That is sad! The colors and print are great though! I would have been tempted to buy it just for the fabric (but I bet the price was a bit high even for that).

Also, though, the late 19th century was just a time in which Things Were Decorated. Many corsets were embroidered as well, not to be seen, just to be enjoyed by the wearer. Petticoats that were not meant to be seen, at least not for more than a split second, were regularly laden with very deep flounces of lace or embroidery.
