ABOUT: Super cool 1940s handmade youth costume that includes a pale blue linen dress with snap closure at the back, mustard yellow vest which also snaps at the back, sheer cape and little handmade crown. The accessories that go over the dress all have a gold/bronze piping at the edges to tie them together. The estate we purchased this from said that this costume was based on a biblical character. We love costumes and how throughout history folks chose to dress as people or things that echoed their lives at that time, and so this is just a cool little window into the life of a teenager who handmade a costume that spoke to them.
