DATING TO THE VICTORIAN 19TH C

LATE 1860’S WITH SOME SMALL MODIFICATIONS DONE SLIGHTLY LATER

FASHIONED OF A BLUE SILK TAFFETA, TWO PIECE IN CONSTRUCTION

PIPED IN BLACK SILK VELVET

THE BODICE HAS PIPED SEAMS ON THE SLEEVES, THE REAR IN A SLIT BUSTLE TAIL

ORIGINALLY CLOSED WITH BUTTONS BT A PANEL WAS ADDED WITH HOOKS TO INCREASE THE SIZE AS PICTURED

SKIRT IS IN TIERS OF RUFFLES WITH VELVETR PIPING

STRONG AND WEARABLE, COULD BE REFASHIONED BACK TO THE ORIGINAL FORM IF SO DESIRED, NO WEAR OR STAINING, IN EXCELLENT ANTIQUE CONDITION





MEASUREMENTS IN INCHES:

From Me:

Based on the measurements - 30" Bust and a length of 34", this is very much for a pre teen or teenage girl.
