Description: This item is part of a deaccession I'm doing with a local museum. This is a skirt in ivory silk that was for a very petite lady or was altered for a later period. I think it's the second, because the silk dates to before the turn of the century. The gores fall in release pleats. Narrow ruffle on the hemline. The skirt came with a wedding bodice that dates to about 1888. I didn't get a photo of the bodice, but it will be included with the skirt. The bodice is also ivory silk , but has a different weave. Double collar is trimmed in pearls. Button front closures and pearls along the bottom edge. Long, slender, set in sleeves. Pearls and bow at wrists. Label: None Condition: The skirt has shattering just below the waistband. A few light stains on the skirt. The bodice is mssing the majority of silk from the sleeves and shoulders. Tears on the silk body. Missing pearls. Size: Doesn't matter Item number: #GYNT15 Price: $48.00 Ordering Information Back to the previous page Back to the homepage \
