 | Most likely the front of the dress. It is in terrible condition but the seller provided some great detail shots! |
 | The back of the dress. |
 | A prefect picture of the fabric. I love this print! |
 | The inside of the dress. I'm curious if this were for a younger lady given the bust improvers... |
From the seller:
This auction is for an original Victorian Civil War era dress, created with the most beautiful gauze fabric. A chocolate brown and ivory stripe with red rose buds. The pagoda sleeves are not full length, buckram lining that has small cotton batting padded area on both sides of the breasts and a pleated waist.There is hand and machine sewing, because of the sewing I am questioning if it has been altered. This dress is completely undone, the gauze is shattered in many areas. I am selling only as a study piece.
From me:
Does everyone prefer this style, where I table and link the photos back to the photo album, or do y'all prefer the slideshow? Let me know, please!
I like this format best! Good to see captions. :)
ReplyDelete@nuranar I'm partial to this one as well but that's only because I can see the photos at work. :-) Which makes it much easier to edit the posts on my breaks!
