1940s Slip Dress

1940s Slip Dress

Story Time! This piece came from a lady who lived to be 103 and passed away in 1999, her son lived in the house until he passed last year, but left all her things in the house, untouched as they were. You don't come across these types of estates anymore as people are passing later and their clothes are newer, a true capsule of time.
