From http://www.ebay.com/itm/c1850s-1860s-Changeable-Silk-Summer-Dress-Poor-Cond-/130534319397?pt=Vintage_Women_s_Clothing&hash=item1e6473a525
From the seller:
Up for bid is a summer dress, c1850s-1860s, in poor condition. There are many large tears and stains, only some of which are shown. The fabric and parts may be reusable.
The changeable purple silk has undertones of green and copper. There is soutache trim on the sleeves that is coming off on both sides. Only two stays remain inside the brown buckram lining. The back closes with 21 hooks and 18 eyes (3 eyes missing).
26" bust, 23" waist, 53" length.
This is a place for any extant garments in private collections from about 1941 back. There is no beginning date. The only rule is that it can't be currently in a museum and must be before the bombing of Pearl Harbor. I mostly post items I've seen on ebay, etsy, or other auction sites so we will continue to have a record of them for research purposes. If you have antique clothing in your collection, please, email me pictures of them and I will gladly add them to this site.
