Over the years, we had dresses from time to time that only had a slit in the side or back, but no inside pocket. So-called garment pockets were worn under the dresses. The women kept their personal belongings in them. Such as: Purse, sewing kit, wallet, the smelling salt box, perfume bottles, handkerchiefs and keys. These garment bags were often worn over the top petticoat, or directly on the crinoline.
