has been some mends made to it, but still in great vintage condition
very beautiful, ruffles are very intricate, and very detailed.
great collectors item, also great to wear, or upcycle!

hips are open


Measurements are taken with garment lying flat & seam to seam:

Length- 54
Split length- 29in

Condition- excellent vintage condition, minor repairs, not noticeable!


very good condition. no holes, spots stains or other defects noted!!



From Me:

Honestly? I choose this because I love the play of monochrome and light in a couple of the photos. My guess is 1890's but it could easily be worn later as well.
