This lovely dress dates to the latter 1800s. It is a museum deacquisition being sold on their behalf. NOTE: it does need some repair, mostly some torn lace, and has some rust and age spots or stains that may soak out. The dress is masterfully constructed and hand sewn. We did not have a full size mannequin to show this on and the ruffle should hang down from skirt, not spread out as shown in photo. Overall length of dress would be about 56 inches from base of neck to bottom of ruffle.

If you want additional photos, please let us know. We do have additional pictures that did not fit in the listing, which is limited to 12.
