Description

These wonderful inventions are known by many names: pilchers, pilch, savers, drawers or diaper covers.  But whatever the name they serve one purpose, to cover the cloth diaper and prevent the wee one's (pardon the pun) clothing,  from getting wet.  For re-enactors of 1800's life they are a life-saver, allowing the mother the modern convenience of disposable diapers, while being hidden by a truly period garment.
The pilchers are made of soft,  lightweight, 100% cotton flannel. There is a waistband with a single period correct antique button  in either shell or bone aand matching button-hole on the other side of the waistband. The back section wraps around the baby's bottom, up between the legs and attaches to the single button at the waistband. They are easy to wash, rinse and dry, as necessary.
We have two sizes available:   18" waist, small (baby) and 20" medium (toddler).  By moving the button, these two sizes should fit most babies.
Thanks for looking and Happy eBaying!
