1940s Folk Art Jersey Swim Dress
A piece from our personal collection. Found out in California and truly a unique work of art. This dress was cobbled together from a swim dress and basketball jersey sometime in the 1940s. It’s truly one of a kind and a great example of the few but remarkable make-do folk art articles of clothing that can be found out there.
