1. Girl's Dress, about 1870

Description:: This type of dress was very popular for railroad travel after the Civil War, and was probably worn in the summertime. One wonders if it functioned as a duster; however, it appears to be fairly close-fitting.
Date Issued:: [1870 TO 1880]
Data Provider:: Wayne State University. Libraries and The Henry Ford
Collection:: Digital Dress Collection

2. Child's Tunic, 1840-1850

Description:: This might be a boy's tunic, to be worn with trousers, although one wonders if the color and fabric were sufficiently masculine (it might also be a girl's tunic, but appears to be too short). This piece might have been used by the Bowen family of Pennsylvania.
