1930s/40s Burlap Dress, Size XS, Upcycled Standard Railroad Bean Bag
1930s/40s Burlap Dress, Size XS, Upcycled Standard Railroad Bean Bag
Description - This is a very cool handmade dress that has been upcycled from antique burlap bean bags. It has really pretty floral hand sewn embroidery. There are 2 patch pockets on the front of the skirt. It opens up on the side and secures with 2 snaps. It comes with a matching belt. There is a v opening in the back that I think looks like it should have a hook and eye but it doesn't look like there was ever anything sewn there. The fabric has no stretch.

Hips - approx 18" across

Condition - This is made from actual burlap bean burlap sacks so there are minor imperfections and printing from it's original use. The printing is all on the inside but does show on the outside in some areas. I think this adds character! There are some brown marks on the skirt and sleeves that I did not attempt to get off. I do not know how to clean this and it is being sold as is. I do not smell any odors though.
