Turn of the Century Pink & Green Dress with Wild Print












From the seller:


Vintage authentic victorian antique three piece dress. Outer layer is fine sheer batise cotton with a wavy pink background and beautiful pink roses. Top is very fancy, has a square neckline, no closures, lots of tucking, shirred ribbon, and lace. Skirt has a smooth front, gathered back for a mini bustle, silk ribbon trim, ruffles. Has a pink cotton underskirt with a ruffle at the bottom. Also see our other great items including more dresses, we gladly combine shipping. Buyer pays in three days, pays shipping.

Very good vintage condition for its age. Has spots (especially on the underskirt), the don't show too much on the outerlayer due to the busy pattern. The top has some breaks in the fabric especially at the waist area.

Measures

Top Length-16"

Waist-20"

Skirt Length-41"

Sweep-156"


From Me:

I wish the seller tucked the blouse in, then you could really see how pretty this dress must have been. The fitted sleeves with the caps were popular in the early 1900's.

  1. Ah-ah! That's what's wrong. I looked at this dress and wondered if the problem was the model. I must be too tired to think clearly. ;-)
