More about this item
This was from the estate of Marian Wright Power May 1, 1880- July 25, 1969
A coloratura soprano who performed under the name of Marian Wright Powers, "Mame" as she was known to her family, had a varied repertoire including classical, opera, folk, and popular songs, and performed special programs on seasonal or special subject themes (ie. Native American, women composers, etc.).
The items I will be listing from this estate were purchased from another buyer. This lot of 2 baby gowns are lovely. There may spots and blemishes and fraying from age. I did not attempt tp clean these and those with knowledge of treating antique fabrics may be able to restore.In good condition. There is a label sewn inside. Some of these may have been property of a museum at some point.
The gown with the peach ribbon is a sheer material and there is hand embroidery on it It is 22.5" shoulder to hem, 9.5" shoulder to shoulder and 11" across bodice.
The Short sleeved gown is 9" shoulder to shoulder, 21" shoulder to hem and 12" across bodice. This is a hand made gown with pleated yoke and antique lace trim
