Antique 1890s Victorian Gilded Age Brown Wool Red Velvet Bow Corset Blouse Skirt Matching Dress Set
Antique 1890s Victorian Gilded Age Brown Wool Red Velvet Bow Corset Blouse Skirt Matching Dress Set
Info:
♥ Circa: 1890s
♥ Label: None, handmade
♥ Color: Multi
♥ Material: Multi
♥ Condition: Very good considering the age, structurally wearable with care. Both the skirt and velvet belt have had fabric added to make them larger, can be worn as is or fabric can be removed to make smaller again. The fabric added to the waistband is a bit crudely sewn. Wear to the velvet throughout. Silk underneath the sleeves has shattering, though this doesn’t effect the wearability. A few small holes to wool. Presents really well as a whole, sold as is.
