Different types of industry have this kind of set up. See below--this is from a photo website. Mary<br /><br />Maybe be something like this?

And with no markings whatsoever, I suspect something governmental, so you may not get an answer. Perhaps it was rocket fuel or some type of newly developed secret chemical. <br />Lisi's dress looks perfect with the mermaid button and her hair looks a little windblown as if she has been out tending your chickens. Her face reminds me of Levon.<br />I use a jarred tomato sauce also, and add it to simmering fresh ingredients just as you have done.

How sweet.<br />Just in case the lack of sleeve bothers you yet, here is a cheat sleeve. Cut a piece fabric that goes from the waist of the dress, up over the shoulder and down to the other waist. Nip it with your scissors, then fold and cut straight down. Cut across the bottom about 2" longer than you want the sleeve. Put that sleeve on the fabric and cut a second one. <br />Right sides together, sew one sleeve from one waist seam to the other on the dress.. <br />Now sew a hem in the end not sewn to the dress, about half an inch deep, and the raw edge pointing toward the first seam.<br />Now put the raw edges together, right sides together. Match the underarm seams and the waist seams. Pin as much as you like. Sew a seam from the "hem" on the sleeve past the underarm, past the waist, to the bottom of the dress. Bingo, one sleeve set in and hemmed.<br />Do the same for the other sleeve.<br />Draw a picture and keep it.Joanne Noragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16601010208310707750noreply@blogger.com
