Yeah know....some things just make sense. Ever try to go potty in a long voluminous skirt? Hold skirt up move Indies out of way, keep you balance, aim. Im thinking split drawer were worn a LOT by women who had only a few pair and wore them out, hence not too many examples around like the rich women who could afford lots and so stuff was actually around to be found in there completeness century or More later. people put practiale things on children to make their lives easier. Im not surprised that a woman working to keep her household gong with kids a husband an possible a kitten garden, would have very practical solutions for very real everyday problems. from a woman who has been called a bluejeans level researcher and is proud of it. -----Original Message----- Date: Wednesday, September 14, 2011 10:57:53 am To: "Historical Costume" <[email protected]> From: "WorkroomButtons.com" <[email protected]> Subject: [h-cost] Update on split drawers (fascinating, I know...)
On the slim chance that anyone is following along... Yes, we found another pair of split drawers in the the vast Reed Homestead (Townsend Historical Society) collection. They definitely belonged to an adult, and like the child-sized pair... well worn and heavily mended. --- On Thu, 8/11/11, WorkroomButtons.com <[email protected]> wrote: Re: drawers So far, we have found one pair of split drawers in the vast attic-sized pile, er... collection.
