True Blue ~ that Country look so many collectors decorating in the Country style yearn to have. This child's little calico dress from the late 1890's or early 1900's, I am sure would make many heart take a tumble!

During the 1990's I was a member of highly successful Country shop selling many early textiles including quilts, calico clothing & other well-loved textiles. It was a wonderful learning experience for me and my love of cloth was taken several steps further. I learned it doesn't have to be perfect to be well loved. I soon appreciated the mends, fades & a "little ragged around the edge look" that so many country folks find endearing and eager to add to their collections. So I began to seek out these well-loved clothing pieces from the past. Each time I acquire a piece it is a connection with the past. Always there are so many questions with most left unanswered.

This is a sweet little dress and probably worn by siblings as it does show repeated washings & wearings with the fading of the fabric.

Blue is also a highly contagious Country color!
