- Dress, c.1930s. Light blue cotton with rayon rick-rack trim and celluloid buttons. The button-front bodice is fitted with darts, and the skirt is knee length.

There is also an inverted box pleat inserted into the centre back, closed at its top and bottom, for ease. At the end of each short sleeve there is the same purple trim as on the collar. The centre front opening continues through the natural waistline, with two hidden circular white celluloid buttons. There is a front and back slightly flared panel to the skirt, plus two godets on either side of each side seam. The trim and the rest of the garment is machine sewn, with flat felled seams.

- Description
- Dress, c.1940s. Cotton, blue pinstripes on white background. White panels up sides of flared calf length skirt, pockets, v-neck with collar, buttons centre front. The collar is on top of a square yoke that extends around the shoulders. It also has revers that extend from the turn of the bodice fabric. This creates a V neck in the 1940s style. White plastic buttons close the dress down centre front. Three pleats open up from the waist on each side front, and two on each side back. The sleeves extend up from the bottom in a kimono cut, and are constructed on the top half as set-in sleeves. The two types join in the middle, and are finished with a small cuff. The skirt has ten slightly flared gores, set into the waistband with small pleats. The side gores are made of white cotton. Down centre front, the opening continues over the hips with more buttons. On each side at hip level, there is a square patch pocket cut on the bodice. Inside the back of the neck, there is a cotton tag that has embroidered in green: "This is a Colleen Brawn Reg'n Garment / Made in Canada / 5994 34."

The bodice has a pleat in each shoulder, one in each side back, and a dart at each side front. The collar has revers that extend from the centre front opening, creating a V neck.

The skirt extends to just below the knees. At the natural waistline of the dress, there is a snap closure in to hold it in place. Sitting on top, there is a thin adjustable belt with a loop at each side seam. On the right loop a white, yellow, and black paper tag hangs. It reads: "An 'Easy Living' Fabric. Corklin by Burlington.

Drip dry, 3. If touch up required, use a dry iron on dry fabric. Burlington Mills, Burlington quality, 'Woven into the Life of America.' A member of Burlington Industries. Printed in U.S.A."
