A little bundle of Depression-era sweetness. This lot includes several handmade doll garments sewn from printed feed sack cotton — classic small florals, dots, and cheerful colors typical of the late 1920s and 1930s. All pieces are child-sewn or home-sewn, with charming irregularities that come with early handmade doll clothing.
Included in the lot:
• Red & white polka-dot set – dress with matching bloomers and bonnet, trimmed in white cotton.
• Yellow-trim floral romper/dress – blue, red & yellow floral print.
• Green/yellow print romper – tiny dot ground with round floral medallions.
• Two additional rompers – one red floral/leaf print, one cream with red star-flowers.
Details:
• Authentic feed sack cotton prints (floral calicos, dots, Depression-era colors)
• Entirely handmade
• Estimated era: Late 1920s to 1930s
• Various sizes (most suited for 12–18” dolls depending on build)
• Snap closures, ties, and elastic waists typical of the period
Condition:
Gently worn, with expected age-related wear. Some fading, a few frayed edges, and minor loose stitching here and there. No major damage. Clean and stored carefully.
These pieces display beautifully on composition dolls, cloth dolls, early Effanbee/Ideal, or as part of a vintage sewing/textile collection.
