Petticoat. Part of a woman's folk costume (2007.009.002-.005). White cotton petticoat. Has a wide piece of eyelet embroidered lace trim attached to the bottom of the hem. The eyelets make tilted rectangles and there are embroidered leaves and branches above the rectangles. A little above this trim, there is a narrower insert of eyelet embroidered trim. The insert has alternating eyelet embroidered designs: one design is a four-petaled flower and the other design is a hexagonal shape made from seven small eyelets. The wide waistband is very narrow in circumference. Slit opening cut into the petticoat. This slit opening does not close in back--no closures (snaps, hooks, ties, etc). No other decorations. |

Provenance |
This folk costume belonged to, and was handmade by, the donor's mother, Dagny Jessen Olsson. Dagny participated in a folk dancing group at Nysted People's College in Dannebrog, Nebraska circa 1932. The donor provided a photograph of Dagny with this folk dancing group. Dagny Jessen Olsson was born in Dagmar, Montana on 21 April 1912. She was the daughter of Danish immigrants Niels and Marie Jessen. Niels and Marie emigrated from Jutland circa 1900 and settled in Iowa. They then moved to Dagmar to homestead. Dagny grew up in Dagmar with her five sisters. She went to high school in Plentywood, Montana, and graduated in June of 1931. During her high school years, she boarded with a family in Plentywood and came home most weekends. Dagny was married on 8 June 1935, and died 24 August 1982. |
