What an eyeful this is! McCall's 1903 Fantabulous "Lucy" Pinafore Apron 1954. I researched the bat snot out of it and could not find one other anywhere on the internet. It back fastens with buttons or snaps. With a little adjustment could be made into a dress too.
Look for a newsletter and a sale next week. Of course I will start the sale one day early for you ladies! I will post Thursday morning with the coupon code and then officially start it on Friday morning. We will be scanning like maniacs this week to get in a long weekend with lots of river time.
Run into alot of patterns with names on them. Often the older ones have fun names that you don't hear that often - i.e. Verna etc. Puts a picture in my mind of the previous owner. Had an idea to start putting them in with the name in the title description. Butterick 9336 "Marie's" Wonderful Wartime Fitted Coat / ca. 1940 which I listed earlier this week. So Marie - wherever you are - here is your old pattern!

Hello, I was wondering on the dresses from the 40's-50's that have the skirt that looks "poofy," what kind of slip they wore or was it just the pattern?
I imagine they used a rather stiffy starchy slip - probably that fabric that would be used for tutu's. If you're looking for something like that check out the local thrift stores!
