#1267,1880\'s Black Lace Bustle Gown:The dress is three pieces with a black silk slip, a overskirt of lace and thebodice. It is made of a cotton lace. The bodice has a bust of 29”, and awaist of 22”. The silk under skirt has a waist of 28” and a length of37”. The lace skirt has a waist of 26” and a length of 35.5”. Both of theskirts appear to have been altered at one time to make them larger. Thesilk underskirt is intact, but does have splitting and holes in the pleatedbottom ruffle. The lace overskirt is missing its hooks and eyes, andthere are places where the lace needs mending. The worst hole is the onethat is photographed. These don\'t show up because of the black silkunderskirt. The bodice is in good condition but has no hooks and eyes onthe over-lace. I think that it was just pinned into place at the neckline.It does have an old smell. It makes a lovely display as you can see. Itwould also be great for inspiration. The offerding will start at $0.99 with.
