BOTH OF THESE DRESSES CAME FROM AN ESTATE WHERE THERE WERE WOMEN'S MILITARY CLOTHING FROM BOTH THE 1920'S AND WW2. ONE OF THE DRESSES IS MADE FROM A TEXTURED COTTON MATERIAL WHEREAS THE OTHER IS CONSTRUCTED OF A LIGHTER WEIGHT LINEN. PHOTOS 2 THRU 7 SHOW THE TEXTURED COTTON DRESS BY ITSELF. PHOTOS 11 & 12 SHOW THE LINEN DRSS BY ITSELF. BOTH HAVE SAILOR STYLE DETAILS INCLUDING A NAVAL CRACKER JACK FLAP ON THE BACK WITH EMBROIDERED STARS AS WELL AS STRIPES AROUND THE BORDER. BOTH DRESSES HAVE SNAP BUTTON UP FRONTS WITH A TOP HOOK EYE CLOSURE. THE WAIST ALSO CLOSES AND OPENS UP WITH A ROW OF SNAP BUTTONS. THE DRESSES HAVE A YOKE STYLE FRONT THAT INCLUDES A LEFT BREAST POCKET AS WELL AS SQUARE SHOULDER BACK COLLARS. THERE ARE 2 GOLDEN EMBROIDERED STRIPES AT THE END OF EACH SLEEVE. THE LEFT SLEEVE HAS AN ADDITIONAL EMBROIDERED GOLDEN SLEVE BRAID ABOUT ONE THIRD OF THE WAY DOWN FROM THE SHOULDER. EACH SLEEVE HAS A 2 BUTTON CUFF WITH A HOOK EYE CLOSURE. NOTE: THE LINEN DRESS IS MISSING 1 BUTTON FROM EACH SLEEVE. MIDWAY DOWN THE RIGHT SLEEVE ON EACH DRESS S A SEWN ON EMBROIDERED RATING MARK PATCH THAT APPEARS TO BEAR SOME TYPE OF A NAVAL INSIGNIA AND PROBABLY INDICATES SOME FORM OF RANK. MEASUREMENTS LYING FLAT ARE AS FOLLOWS: BUST--- 18" WAIST--- 16" SHOULDER--- 15" SLEEVE--- 21" TOTAL LENGTH---55" WAIST TO HEM--- 28" WAIST TO NECK---17" THE HEAVIER WEIGHT DRESS IS IN VERY GOOD VINTAGE CONDITION WITH ONLY A FEW MINOR STAINS. THE LIGHTER WEIGHT LINEN DRESS IS ALSO IN GOOD CONDITION BUT IT DOES HAVE A COUPLE OF SMALL TEARS AS WELL AS A FEW SPOTS WHERE THE MATERIAL HAS BECOME A LITTLE THIN.
