From Me:

Well, it's not late Victorian as the seller believes, but early Teen's Era. This is more something you'd expect to see worn on the Titanic than anywhere else.   Granted, the high necklines were a quickly dying breed when you hit the 1910s, but some ladies still preferred them.  In the fashion plate below, the lady in the upper middle right still has a high neckline.   They were most common on older ladies.

  1. This really is besides a good quality apply for which i literally highly valued grasping. It's not at all on  a daily basis that we all put the opportunity to identify a thing. Clothing Shop
