THIS IS AN sale FOR A FABULOUS AND RARE DRESS ENSEMBLE - A THREE (3) PIECE VICTORIAN SILK DRESS THAT APPEARS TO HAVE RARELY, IF EVER, BEEN WORN. IT IS A LINED SKIRT, WITH AN INSIDE POCKET, A LINED AND BONED JACKET TOP, AND AN OVERSKIRT THAT WOULD REQUIRE A BUSTLE. THERE ARE NO UNDERGARMENTS ON THE MANNEQUIN ON WHICH THIS SET IS PICTURED SO KEEP IN MIND THAT WITH THE APPROPRIATE BUSTLE AND UNDERGARMENTS, THE SILK LINES OF THE DRESS WOULD BE EXTENDED. AN AMAZING PART OF THIS ENSEMBLE ARE THE BEAUTIFUL AUTHENTIC BUTTONS THAT APPEAR TO BE IN VERY GOOD/EXCELLENT CONDITION. THERE ARE FOURTEEN (14) BUTTONS OF CUT STEEL WITH HAND-MADE BUTTONHOLES. A MAJORITY OF THE ENSEMBLE APPEARS TO BE HAND SEWN WITH GREAT DETAIL. THE CHEST MEASURES 28 INCHES AND THE WAIST 25 INCHES. THERE ARE SOME AREAS OF THE SILK THAT ARE WORN AND I HAVE TRIED TO PHOTOGRAPH THEM BUT THEY ARE DIFFICULT TO SEE. ALSO, PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT THE OVERSKIRT IS THE AREA OF SILK THAT HAS SOME DETERIORATION (PLEASE SEE THE PHOTOS). PLEASE EMAIL WITH ANY QUESTIONS AS I WANT SOMEONE TO BE VERY HAPPY FOR THIS UNUSUAL AND BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF FASHION HISTORY!
