Middy/sailor dress rating badges

A 1907 article in a woman's magazine called "The Delineator" (which was associated with the Butterick sewing pattern company) gives some details about rating badges for these dresses, including photos from the regulations. They say it's common to use the rating of a relative in the service, or one related to the father's occupation. If you wanted to know more about the specialty marks, you could send them a self-addressed stamped envelope and they'd send you more information!

Wow! That is truly awesome! Considering the age and whatnot, it could surely be helpful for me and most likely others.

Thanks! Have a nice day!
