Infant Vintage Outfits

These dresses are old and have been passed down.  They are not created by Laura or members from her family history.  Label information is provided if available on the dresses.  As with all older/vintage clothing, there is always the chance of stains, or imperfections, yet every effort is made to describe each dress honestly.  Where possible, mending has been done, so that when the consumer receives the chosen dress, they will not need to mend it themselves.  Enjoy! 


Heirloom Blue Pin tucked Dress - $75.00

 

This handmade blue cotton batiste dress is labeled "Handmade - Feltman Bros - Philippians"  From my research, it looks to be from the 1940's but I cannot be certain.  It is numbered 34280-1.  It features tiny pin tucking on the front with delicate white embroidery down center of bodice. The neckline and short puffed sleeves bands are trimmed with a delicate lace trim.  The hem is finished with scalloped embroidery as well as more delicate white embroidery on front bottom hem.  It has pin tucks in the back along with two tiny buttons for back closure.

  • Approximately 11" around neck

  • Approximately 22" around chest, under infant arms

  • 15" from back neckline to bottom scalloped hem

  • 14 1/2" from front neckline to bottom scalloped hem

This was received in very clean condition.  There are two very tiny marks on this outfit, one on the sleeve and one on the lower right, back side of dress.  These markings are barely visible, but must be noted for your purchasing decision.

Order # INFVINT001 - $75.00


Pink Gingham Elephant Walk Dress - $35.00

 

 

This is a darling little dress, made of pink cotton gingham, white piping around sleeves and bodice.  Three button closure in the back, and a delightful elephant design that is weaved into the fabric.  It is not embroidered, but rather weaved, which shows the shadow effect on the wrong side of fabric.  I could not find any staining on this sweet little dress.

The tag was falling off and buttons were loose, so I have reinforced the buttons so that they are firmly in place, and the tag is mended and re-applied to the inside of the dress.

Tag says: size "L", Puma Inc, All cotton exclusive of decoration.

  • Neck circumference is 10 1/2"

  • Back length to hem is 11"

  • Front length to hem is 10"

  • approximately 19" around chest under arms

Order # INFVINT002 - $35.00


Smocked Blue Polka Dot Dress - $55.00

     

A very sweet dress, made of blue polka dot on white cotton.  Tiny blue piping trims the collar along with two appliqués which I think are grape clumps.  Beautiful blue smoking where the bodice is attached to the dress.  There are two small buttons on the back for closure, and with all vintage dresses, this dress has the large 3"  hem.  Elastic at wrist, yet ruffled flair at hem of each sleeve.

Tag says: Nanette

 

 

  • Neck circumference is 11 1/2"

  • Back length to hem is 14 1/2""

  • Front length to hem is 13 1/2"

  • Shoulder to shoulder 8"

  • approximately 26" around chest under arms

Order # INFVINT003 - $55.00


Heirloom Feltman Pink Embroidered Dress - $55.00

 

 A delicate little girls dress with delicate embroidery that is so common with the Feltman Bros. clothing line.  The collar is trimmed with white and embroidered stitches.  Quite delicate and charming.

The pockets add such charm to this little dress.

A sweet addition to be worn by your sweet little one, or even to use as decoration in creating old fashion charm to your nursery.

I did have to mend the tag and re-attach it to the inside of dress, saving you from having to do this, as well as keeping the tag with the dress.

  • Neck circumference is 12"

  • Back length to hem is 14""

  • Front length to hem is 13"

  • Shoulder to shoulder 9"

  • approximately 25" around chest under arms

Order # INFVINT004 - $55.00


Heirloom Feltman Green Smocked Dress - $65.00

 

 

A charming Feltman Bros. smocked front dress in a mint green batiste fabric.  This dress does not even seem to have been worn, as the tag looks as crisp as if it was new.  The collar and bodice of this dress has the sweetest bit of embroidery.  The tiniest buttons on the front bodice for decoration, and two button closure on back.  White batiste fabric is used for the collars and sleeve bands.  Sweet decorative smocking where dress is attached to bodice.

The only flaw that I could find is a small little mark on the right sleeve, in front, that seems that it could just be a result of dust from storage.  There are no other flaws that I could find, with no mending needed.

  • Neck circumference is 11"

  • Back length to hem is 13 1/2"

  • Front length to hem is 13"

  • Shoulder to shoulder 8"

  • approximately 20" around chest under arms

Order # INFVINT005 - $65.00


"Celeste" Yellow Pin tucked Dress - $65.00

  

A gorgeous yellow dress by "Celeste" in New York.  Hand Washable.  It still has both tags and seems to never have been worn as the tags are new like, and the size tag is still the paper tag that used to come on clothing.  100% cotton size M

This gorgeous yellow dress has pin tucks on the batiste bodice, a sweet lace trim collar matching the lace on the sleeve bands.  The embroidered trim between the bodice and dress skirt is actually made from the same yellow fabric, creating a bow in the front, and embroidered across.  In back, the same yellow (non-embroidered) fabric is used to tie the dress into a bow in back.  Three button closure in back.  Finished with the typical three-inch hem as we saw in years past.

  • Neck circumference is 10 1/2"

  • Back length to hem is 14 1/2"

  • Front length to hem is 13 1/4"

  • Shoulder to shoulder 8 3/4"

  • approximately 23" around chest under arms

Order # INFVINT006 - $65.00
