I think this is such a cool piece of history and beyond that, it is just adorable. Handmade. Made from 100% cotton, this cream colored dress is somewhat roughly sewn, bow tie accents at shoulders, red and white checkered hem and side slits, red and blue Manitoba Sugar logo across front and back. The cotton is rougher than bedsheets but nowhere near a real burlap sack.
Based on the measurements below, I would say this would fit a small or medium depending on desired fit.
Measures:
Pit to pit: 18"
Length from shoulder seam to hem: 37.5"
Across hips: 19"
Interesting factoid:
Following the appearance of Marylin Monroe in a potato sack dress in 1951 the rage of these dresses was on, "you'd look good in a potato sack" was a real thing! (see last pic).
Thanks for looking!

@chellonheels hi there I am assuming it is based on the logos.
