Nellie and her family move north to Chicago after the Great War during the Great Migration North. Millions of poor southerners (mostly black) moved north after the war for better opportunity.
Nellie wears a chemise, petticoat, panties (that you can’t see), and stockings. Her hair is in a bun.
Her dress is a 1919 day dress, modeled after real dresses of the era. With it she has slippers and a cloche hat.
That random bar is due to my poor editing skills and utter laziness.
Nellie’s book is available here.
