Description: This item is part of a deaccession I'm doing with a local museum.

This is a lovely wedding gown in ivory silk from c.1888. The bodice has a pleated chest yoke and collar. The collar has an overlay of ivory silk chiffon. Silk chiffon is drapped along the chest yoke edge with rosettes on the shoulders and at the center front. Gathers down the center front bodice with lace appliques on either side of the center front folding back to lapels. Full skirt with outside darts on either side of the center back and gathers at the center back.

Condition: The silk chiffon has tears. Edgewear on the sleeve edges from being flattened. Water stains and the beginning signs of shattering on the left upper and under arm. Two pea size stains on the front lace. A few light stains on the skirt with two large black scuff marks on the lower back skirt. Hem is very dirty. Waist band has shattering and slight weight stress on the tops of the gathers below the waistband. Overall, not as bad as it sounds. Displays wonderfully.
