Floral pattern .

Condition :
Excellent !
Only one or two small holes on the tull but it is very minor .
There is a black spot on the skirt ( see photo ) . I think it is a chocolat or coffee spot .
From Me:
The fabric is all consistent with a Turn of the Century date. Drawstrings were used in skirts- I have an extant bustle gown that is half drawstring, half pleated to a waistband- and this drawstring looks original.
I love this!! There are several Edwardian petticoats in the Met Museum collections that look very similar to this, with the printed silk fabric and lots of lace. Could this be a petticoat?
ReplyDeleteThe only reason I hesitate in saying that it could be a petticoat is the silk. Most petticoats are out of cotton with lace at the bottom - where it might show should you need to lift your skirt to get up the stairs. The lace on this is fairly high as well - more like a skirt.
