This 144-Year-Old Dress Has a Mysterious Code, Turns Out This is the Meaning

Sara Cofield, an archaeologist who also enjoys collecting antique dresses and bags, discovered a surprise when bringing the dress home. She found a hidden pocket located beneath the skirt structure of the dress, embedded within the skirt's stitching.

Then, he realized that the dress and the piece of paper likely originated from the 1880s era. However, he encountered difficulties in interpreting the message written on the paper. The text on the paper includes location names, followed by verbs and a collection of random nouns such as Bismark, omit, leafage, buck, bank. Calgary, Cuba, unguard, confute, duck, fagan. Spring, wilderness, lining, one, reading, novice.

Researchers from the University of Manitoba Successfully Decipher Secret Code of Antique Dresses.

Although several experts have tried but failed to decipher the meaning of the code on the dress. Wayne Chan, a computer analyst from the University of Manitoba in Canada, also tried and succeeded. According to him, the hidden message in the dress is actually intended to convey local weather information through the telegraph or telegram system.

"In the mid-19th century, the telegraph became the main means of sending and receiving news quickly. 'Since telegraph companies determined the number of words in a telegram, codes for compressing messages to reduce the word count became popular,' Chan wrote in his scientific paper published in the journal Cryptologia."

"In his effort to interpret the message, Chan delved into around 170 telegraph code books, but the result was nil."

His success came when he discovered an ancient book titled "Telegraphic Tales and Telegraphic History" which contained a section about weather codes used by the US Army Signal Corps. The samples in the book appeared similar to the code words on the dress, giving him confidence that the code was related to weather information.

Chan stated that the discovery of the telegraph had a significant impact, including in the dissemination of weather information. This is the first time in history that news about the weather can spread quickly. However, the mystery that still surrounds the dress is the identity of its original owner and the purpose of hiding the weather message within it.
