Beautiful display

Shown on my dress form that is a small size

Hooks are present on the inside lining but it has shredded. It is a dark brown cotton. This could be replaced or just removed. It does not affect the appearance of the gown and is not seen from the outside

There is some boning on the inside as well

The gown is as is. I have tried to list everything I see. The shoulders and underarms are all intact. The tiny collar has some wear. There is a little bit of dirt on the inside of the train, not seen on the outside.



From Me:

Although it could be from the late 1890's, the sleeves and the way the trim is in the back suggests a later date. I'm thinking about 1902-1903 for this piece.
