En ehtinyt sit\u00e4 silloin kunnostaa, joten mekko on maannut korjattavien kasassa siit\u00e4 l\u00e4htien. T\u00e4n\u00e4 kes\u00e4n\u00e4 tarvitsin lis\u00e4\u00e4 kes\u00e4mekkoja joten kaivelin mekon kasasta. Yll\u00e4tyksekseni se ei sitten lopulta kaivannutkaan muuta kuin irto-miehustaan uuden vy\u00f6t\u00e4r\u00f6nauhan ja pesun. Sainkin siis itselleni helposti kelpo kes\u00e4mekon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>T\u00e4m\u00e4 mekko on siit\u00e4 erikoinen, ett\u00e4 sen ajoittaminen on osoittautunut kinkkisemm\u00e4ksi kuin yleens\u00e4. Siin\u00e4 ei ole vetoketjua eik\u00e4 mit\u00e4\u00e4n muutakaan avattavaa osaa, joka yleens\u00e4, muutamia poikkeuksia lukuunottamatta, viittaa 20-lukuun. Kaikki saumanvarat on huoliteltu k\u00e4sin, joka viittaa 40-lukuun tai siit\u00e4 vanhempaan. Nopealla vilkaisulla se vaikuttaa 20-lukuiselta syvine p\u00e4\u00e4nteineen, irtomiehustoineen, v\u00e4ljine mitoituksineen ja helmapituuksineen. Kuitenkin p\u00e4\u00e4llystetyt koristenapit ja yl\u00e4lantion seutuvilla olevat ter\u00e4v\u00e4k\u00e4rkiset koristeleikkaukset viittaavat enemm\u00e4n 40-luvun alkupuoleen tai 30-lukuun kuin 20-lukuun. Syv\u00e4 p\u00e4\u00e4ntie irtomiehustalla ei kuitenkaan oikein sovi 30- eik\u00e4 40-lukuun. Polvipituinen helma on 30-luvulle aivan liian lyhyt, mutta k\u00e4visi 40-lukuun. On toki mahdollista, ett\u00e4 joku on lyhent\u00e4nyt helman my\u00f6hemmin. Alasp\u00e4in levenev\u00e4, kaistaleista ommeltu helma ja ter\u00e4v\u00e4k\u00e4rkiset leikkaukset taas eiv\u00e4t ole yht\u00e4\u00e4n 20-luvun tyyli\u00e4. Miss\u00e4\u00e4n tapauksessa puku ei ole 50-lukuinen vaan vanhempi, mutta kuinka vanha? Itse ehk\u00e4 sijoittaisin t\u00e4m\u00e4n 30-luvun alkupuoliskolle kaikkein mieluiten. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"214\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evildressmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/inenglish.gif?resize=214%2C100\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7004\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>I got a summery vintage dress from a friend year or two ago. I didn&#8217;t have time to do maintenance to it back then, so it&#8217;s been waiting ever since. This summer I needed more summer dresses, so I decided to finally tackle this task. To my surprise, I didn&#8217;t have to do anything else than wash the dress and replace wornout waistband of the separable bodice front. So after all it was very easy way to get a new dress. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This dress is quite tricky when it comes to dating it. It doesn&#8217;t have zipper nor any other opening, which usually refers to 20&#8217;s. All seam allowances have been secured by hand stitching, which usually refers to 40&#8217;s or earlier. With quick glance it seems very 1920&#8217;s with deep open neckline, separable bodice front, loose fit and hem length just on the knee. However covered buttons like this, were more popular in the30&#8217;s and 40&#8217;s, not so much in the 20&#8217;s. Deep neckline with separable front is not that much of a 30&#8217;s or 40&#8217;s thing. Knee-length skirt is too short for 30&#8217;s, but would go for  40&#8217;s. All though it is possible that someone has shortened the hemline. A-line skirt with vertical cuts and diamond shaped cuts on the hips are not 20&#8217;s style either. What ever the case, this is definitely older than 50&#8217;s, but how old? Perhaps I would place this on the first half of 30&#8217;s rather than anything else. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"661\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evildressmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/mysterydress1.jpg?resize=661%2C1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evildressmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/mysterydress1.jpg?resize=661%2C1024 661w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evildressmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/mysterydress1.jpg?resize=194%2C300 194w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evildressmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/mysterydress1.jpg?resize=129%2C200 129w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evildressmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/mysterydress1.jpg?resize=768%2C1189 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evildressmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/mysterydress1.jpg?w=800 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 661px) 100vw, 661px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>20-, 30- vai 40-luvun kes\u00e4mekkko? \/<br><em>Is this summer dress from 1920&#8217;s, 30&#8217;s or 40&#8217;s?<\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"704\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evildressmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/mysterydress2.jpg?resize=704%2C1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18481\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evildressmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/mysterydress2.jpg?resize=704%2C1024 704w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evildressmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/mysterydress2.jpg?resize=206%2C300 206w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evildressmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/mysterydress2.jpg?resize=137%2C200 137w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evildressmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/mysterydress2.jpg?resize=768%2C1117 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evildressmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/mysterydress2.jpg?w=800 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 704px) 100vw, 704px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Leikkaukset lantiolla ja helmassa eiv\u00e4t t\u00e4sm\u00e4\u00e4 20-lukuun. \/<br><em>Hip and hem cuts don&#8217;t match with 20&#8217;s style.<\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evildressmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/mysterydress3.jpg?resize=768%2C1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18482\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evildressmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/mysterydress3.jpg?resize=768%2C1024 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evildressmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/mysterydress3.jpg?resize=225%2C300 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evildressmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/mysterydress3.jpg?resize=150%2C200 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evildressmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/mysterydress3.jpg?resize=630%2C840 630w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evildressmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/mysterydress3.jpg?w=800 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Irtomiehusta on kiinnitetty nepparein olkap\u00e4ille ja sen alaosassa on nauha joka solmitaan  vy\u00f6t\u00e4r\u00f6n ymp\u00e4ri.
