<p>[QUOTE="Joan, post: 669038, member: 5398"]I'll eventually list the dress on eBay, but will keep the buttons (at least for a while) because I have others that were part of my Mother's antique button collection. I assume the buttons were original to the dress, but there were quite a few missing. The dress is threadbare and ripped in several places inside and out, although the cotton skirt lining has lots of usable fabric. I'm thinking a buyer may want it more for study or to use the fabric for other purposes. I'm wondering if it might have been a maternity dress because the front waist is much fuller than the back waist.</p><p>The photo shows the cotton lining.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]185254[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
