Description: DATING TO THE 1890’S TWO PIECE IN CONSTRUCTION FASHIONED OF A HIGH SHINING IVORY CHARMEUSE SILK SATIN. THE BODICE IS HEAVILY PLEATED HORIZONTALLY WITH A V PANEL IN CENTER FRONT WITH A HIGH BAND COLLAR ENCIRCLING. SLIGHT PUFFS AT THE SHOULDERS WITH PLEATS RUNNING DOWN THE SLEEVE WITH A POINTED BOTTOM END. LACE FRILLS TRIM THE CUFFS WITH LACE FRILLS RUNNING UP THE FRONT AND ON THE REAR HIGH COLLAR WITH POINT SATIN DETAILS OFF THE BACK. A SOLID SATIN ENCIRCLES THE BELTING WITH A ROSETTE AT THE SIDE CLOSURE. FULLY LINED IN COTTON WITH BONING THROUGHOUT THE INTERIOR. NO LABELS AS TO THE MAKER. THE SKIRT IS IN MATCHING SILK SATIN WITH ROSETTES AT EACH SIDE WITH THE LACE SWAGGING ACROSS THE FRONT IN A LOW DROPPING V WITH THE REAR OF THE SKIRT IN A TRAIN. HOOK AND EYES CLOSE THE CENTER REAR BACK WITH FIVE MOTHER OF PEARL BUTTONS TRIMMING EACH SIDE OF THE CLOSURE. CONDITION: THE MAIN ISSUE WITH THIS DRESS IS THE LACE AND I PERSONALLY WOULD REPLACE ALL OF THE LACE AS IT IS VERY DRY AND CRUMBLING BUT I HAVE LEFT IT IN PLACE TO SHOW HOW IT IS ATTACHED. THE RIGHT UNDERARM HAS SOME SMALL FRAYS AND A RING OF DISCOLORATION WITH THE LEFT UNDERARM HAVING NO ISSUE. SILK COULD BE TAKEN FROM THE INNER HEM TO REPAIR, NONE THE WISER. THERE IS A FINGERTIP STAIN ON THE FRONT SIDE SKIRT WITH SOME SLIGHT CREASED WEAR AND LIGHT HARD TO NOTE SCUFFING. REAR TRAIN HAS SOME SCUFFED STAINING SEEN WITH HEAVIER SCUFFED STAINING FROM DRAGGING ALL ALONG THE INNER HEM, UNSEEN WHEN WORN. SMALL FRAY IS JUST ASIDE THE HOOK CLOSURE. A WONDERFUL PIECE TO RESTORE.
