A darling little girls vintage fine cotton checkered nainsook under or summer garment,
often also referred to as bloomers, or union suits.
We have two identical New Old
Stock garments in original glassine envelopes available individually.
The romper garments
themselves are identical, one piece sleeveless, step in type, with drop seats, but
there is slight difference in the packaging. The front of the glassine envelopes
are the same, with great colorful graphics; showing a little boy with his toy ship
and soldier, as well as a little miss with her toy duck and balloons. each child
is wearing their EZ Waist underwear. The back of the packages are different in that
one has black printing describing the superior features of the garment, along with
a blue oval Sealed Satisfaction sticker with white lettering, (see image #5 above)
while the other glassine wrapper has no printing and the Satisfaction sticker is
a white rectangle, with teal and black lettering. (see image #6 above)
The identical
garments each feature 3 bone buttons down the front and three across the drop seat
back. Per the info on the packing the buttons are all taped on and double secured,
with special reinforced buttonholes that will not tear, break or unravel.
The fabric
is a high quality, soft, semi sheer checkered cotton nainsook. Info on the package
states that the garment is carefully sewn with bias binding and triple stitching
at the waist. I must say these little rompers really are very nicely finished, with
double stitching, French seams and charming open ladderwork detail around the necks.
Both
of the bloomer garments are in excellent unused vintage estate condition; clean
and bright, with no spots, specks, stains, tears, snags or issues of any other kind.
The only issue of note is that the elastic at the leg openings, while present, does
not really have much stretch left in it, which is pretty typical for almost 100 year
old elastic.
The glassine envelopes, which have fortunately well protected the contents,
are not perfect and showing some signs of age. Glassine, a type of thin, smooth
paper that has a very slippery, almost waxed finish, is of course very fragile by
nature and each wrapper shows some tears and rips. The one with printing on the
back is affected the most, with tears at both sides, one more than the other, as
well as several smaller rips to top and bottom envelope edge, with a few small missing
pieces from back. (see image #5 above) Thankfully the front graphics remain in tact
for the most part, with only two tiny tears encroaching slightly into the very outside
edge of main graphic area. The second glassine envelope without the back printing,
while not perfect either, is in substantially better condition, with a tear to top
edge and smaller edge tears around package perimeter, but basically intact.
Option
#1 below is for the romper in the package with the back lettering. Option #2 below
is for the romper with no lettering to package reverse.
Really charming little unused,
new old stock rompers, also sometimes called combination waist and bloomers; perfect
for that little two or three year old princess who enjoys attractive, comfortable
garments of unique style and fashion.
Use the drop down box below to select either
Option #1 or #2:
Option #1 - romper with printing on glassine envelope reverse
Option
#2 - romper with no printing to glassine envelope reverse.
