Flour sack dresses were common in the 1930s. My late wife’s grandmother, Birdie Fisher sewed her own flour sack dresses. Except Birdie’s husband, Jacob Fisher was president of a bank and County Judge and Sheriff for Greenup County Kentucky. I can’t imagine modern bank president’s wives sewing their own dresses!
