Description
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. The close collar is edged with purple rayon rick-rack ribbon. The centre front opens with three white octagonal celluloid buttons, and it is shaped with darts: two on each side panel front and back, and one on each shoulder front and back. 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. Floral cotton print with faced collar in neckline, gathered skirt, short sleeves, calf length hem. Hand made by donor's grandmother. The dress is made with a pink, blue, purple and green floral print in the 1940s style. The collar is sewn with a facing out of a split down the centre front. The shoulders are gathered at the front, and the double fold hem for the short sleeves are hand finished. The bodice slants slightly inward towards the natural waistline; other than that, there is no shaping for this easy fitting dress. The skirt has eight gores, each somewhat flared. It is gathered quite a bit in the centre front gore, and slightly at centre back. The hem extends to the calves; it is hand finished. All of the seams are unfinished and all machine sewn.

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."

Description
Shirt dress, c.1950s. Rayon 'corklin' turquoise. White buttons with decorative white thread, pockets, short sleeves, belt, calf length slightly flared skirt. 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 short sleeves have a fold over cuff, and are set in. The dress opens completely down centre front with five small white plastic buttons in the bodice, and fifteen in the skirt. They each have decorative machined button holes in white fabric that extend a few centimetres more than needed. There are four gores in the skirt, two in the front and two in the back, each somewhat flared. In each side seam there is a pocket decorated with four of the same buttons as on centre front. 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. Rayon." On the back it says: "Burlington's CORKLIN is an all rayon quality fabric with the look and feel of fine linen. Here's what makes CORKLIN an easy living fabric: 1. Machine wash, 2. 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." On the inside back of the neck, there is a small cloth tag that reads: "Style / Size 16 1/2." The seams of the dress are finished with pinking shears, and the hems are hand finished. It has never been worn.
