Vintage Victorian Style Plaid with Velvet Opera Costume Blouse and Skirt
Vintage Victorian Style Plaid with Velvet Opera Costume Blouse and Skirt
Info:
♥ Circa: It’s hard to guarantee an age to this set as it was made to be a costume, however we do genuinely feel that the set is vintage. The Minnesota Opera Company was founded in 1963, so we know it is from sometime after that
♥ Label: Minnesota Opera Company
♥ Color: Multi
♥ Condition: Very good/good vintage condition. Structurally very wearable, material is strong. This piece was used on stage and was adjusted more than once to fit different individuals, common with theatre pieces. There are remnants on the front of where the hook and eyes have been moved on the blouse. A small repair on back as well as a small hole in fabric at back of right shoulder. General wear to velvet trim. The hook and eyes have been sewn a little strangely on the skirt. Still would make a good costume!
