#1271,1870\'s Charles Frederick Worth Severe Black Silk Ballgown Labeled: This gown was created in the 1870\'s and has a black woven labelwith Worth, 7 Rue De La Paix. Paris which was an early address for Worth and Bobergh.The name andaddress is gold. Normally gowns have a white label. Thislabel is original to this bodice. It has the original old threads holdingit in. The gown is a black silk skirt and bodice. Because the bodice tucksinto the skirt which has a narrow band, I believe that there was an over skirtthat is now missing. This gown came from a museum de-accession.This gownis very tiny. The waist of the skirt is 20 inches with a front length of39.5. The bodice has a bust of 30, and a waist of 19.5. As you can seethe ribcage was so tiny that it doesn\'t close on this very tiny Victorian dressform. The bodice originally was covered in black silk tulle. Mostof it has disintegrated. The large bow on the left shoulder is handing byone thread and a pin. The skirt has a built in bustle cage. The skirt isin good condition with a few small holes and a tear right below the backopening. There is a seam on the lower right hand back side that has come openand needs to be repaired. It would be amazing to know what the overskirtlooked like. I wonder if it was made with gathered silk tulle.Could this be a mourning dress for third stage mourning? Could the label beblack instead of white because of it being a mourning dress? If anyoneknows send us an email. I am starting the sale at $0.99 with .Have fun.
