This lovely little ensemble was sold by Sears Roebuck & Co. and has their own label inside. A stream-lined and lovely sleeveless sheath dress with black embroidery on the bodice, with it’s own matching jacket, but in contrasts of black on white.
I have several dresses of this basic design and will show a couple more of them soon. It was a very practical and elegant style that could go almost anywhere. Think of how a little hat, nice bag and gloves would dress it up.
Now, imagine dressing like this every day . . . . . . .

Anyone ever see these vintage dolls? Very different from modern Barbies, and the clothing and accessory outfits made for them were astounding! Full of details and all kinds of extra pieces.
Of course, handicrafters would get in on the trend, and grandma’s have always made clothing for their little grand-daughters’ dolls. Look at the pattern pieces – kind of like the sarong, which is nothing but a plain rectangle but can be wrapped into the most exotic and shapely dresses.
It’s kind of fun to see the mid-century styles on this fantasy icon – THE BARBIE-DOLL!!
